WESTERLY is a town rich in history and culture.  Founded in 1669, the town celebrated its 350th year in 2019. The town is made up of smaller villages and is reputable for its granite and stone-cutting industry, even excavating its own pinkish stone called "Westerly granite".  Also known as "Little Italy" by the locals, Westerly is notorious for its authentic Italian cuisine and pizza. In the summer months the population nearly doubles in size as out-of-towners flock to the area's pristine beaches with waterfront properties. Community is a big part of Westerly's charm. Families can look forward to a variety of annual events such as the Virtu Art Festival, Summer Pops, and "Shakespeare In The Park". With the town's many historical buildings and landmarks, Westerly will always convey a sense of antiquity to anyone who visits.
