First District Communities - Middletown

Middletown takes its name from the fact that it is located between the communities of Newport and Portsmouth. It is a seaside community bounded by three bodies of water, Narragansett Bay on the west, the Sakonnet River on the east, and Rhode Island Sound on the south. Middletown is a town that has attracted both industry and residential living.

Its semi-agricultural landscape is diverse, accented by delicate sand dunes, snowy white beaches and stretches of rocky coastline. Numerous fishing, boating, surfing and swimming facilities abound here and the moderating effects of the Atlantic Ocean provide mild winters and cool breezy summers. Along with a diverse labor force, Middletown also has excellent land available for industrial development.
