Little Compton Rhode
Island Home Improvement
Little
Compton was incorporated as a part of Plymouth Colony in 1682,
after having been settled by Captain Benjamin Church, the noted
Indian fighter, and others seven years previously. In 1746, under
Royal Decree, it was transferred to Rhode Island together with the
Towns of Cumberland, Barrington, Bristol and Tiverton.
The
town was originally the home of the "Sagonate" or "Sakonnet"
Indians, a particularly independent group of native Americans that
fought with the settlers against the notorious King Philip,Sachem
of the Wampanoags. King Philip waged a bloody war against the
white settlers and tried to induce other neighboring tribes to
join him.
The
southern end of the town bordering the Atlantic is still known as
"Sakonnet". It was here that Captain Church cleared the
area for settlement.
Following
the end of Indian hostilities, the small settlement in Little
Compton enjoyed comparative peace and prosperity until a new
threat arose; the British occupation of Newport during the
Revolution. Foraging parties from the British garrison invaded
Little Compton several times. The British raiders met with stiff
resistance from the settlers, and were "bushwacked"
several times as in the skirmish at the Taggart House.
Today,
Little Compton is a rural-farming community. It was in Little
Compton that the famous Rhode Island Red, (a breed of fowl and the
State Bird), was developed. Fishing is still a major industry in
the town, as one can observe with the daily departure of the
fishing fleet from the Sakonnet Wharf. The town has also developed
into an ideal vacation spot with the traditional atmosphere of
colonial New England.
Our Handy Men are fully equipped and
ready to serve your needs.
