The name Charlestown was derived from King Charles II, the ruler of Ireland, England, and Scotland. In 1978 the town received its recognition and incorporation as a city of the state of Rhode Island. It has a rich history that was built through centuries and is now recognized as a rising tourist destination in America. Aside from that, this area is also known for being the base of settlement of the Narragansett Native American Tribe. The Narragansett Indian Reservation can be found here. Located within its land are several travel destinations that are starting to draw in tourists from all over the world. Ninigaret Park is where people come to enjoy sports activities like biking and tennis, and there is also the Frosty Drew Nature Center & Observatory. Then there is the Babcock House that was included in 1976 to the National Register of Historic Places. Intend to visit Charlestown? The city is littered with the most comfortable accommodations for those who are planning to spend their holidays here.
