Living in Middletown
Middletown sits on Aquidneck Island between Newport and Portsmouth, bordered by Narragansett Bay to the west, the Sakonnet River to the east, and Rhode Island Sound to the south. Incorporated in 1743 after being set off from Newport, Middletown was long known as the island's farming community. Today it's grown into a residential suburb of Newport with its own business district along East and West Main Road, and a strong connection to Naval Station Newport.
