The history of Jamestown is rich. Originally inhabited by the Narragansett, settled in 1638 by the English, the island was used for grazing sheep. In 1678, Conanicut Island was incorporated as the town of Jamestown.
In 1728, the town built a windmill for grinding corn. On December 10, 1775, 200 British and Hessian troops landed at East Ferry on Conanicut Island and marched to West Ferry, where they burned the ferry house. As they returned to East Ferry, they destroyed many buildings, including fourteen homes; which caused more than 200 of Conanicut Island's 556 residents to flee to the mainland. A number of signers of the Declaration of Independence can be viewed on a document in Town Hall.

July 4th Parade.
The annual procession is led by residents. It starts at 10 a.m. from 933 East Shore Road.
Fire trucks and homemade floats will travel alongside dozens of children, all decked in red, white and blue, while riding their bikes, roller blades, skateboards, wagons and golf carts. The Jamestown Community Band also will march in the parade while providing patriotic music for the spectators lining the street along the East Passage.
The procession ends in a circular driveway and then heads back to its starting point, which means spectators get to see the parade twice. Everyone is invited to march!
This is not to be missed. It is the quintessential small town celebration at its very best.
