More on South Kingstown

The history of South Kingstown goes back to 1722, when the former Kings Towne was split into two parts, the other becoming North Kingstown. Originally reaching the coast of Narragansett Bay, South Kingstown was reduced in size in 1888, when the site between Pettaquamscutt River and Narragansett Bay was separated from it, to create the town of Narragansett.

Today South Kingstown is the largest town in the South County region of Rhode Island. Within its boundary are smaller towns or villages such as Matunuck, Kingston and Wakefield. Kingston is home to the University of Rhode Island.
