About Jamestown

Jamestown is an island town in Newport County covering Conanicut Island — about 9 miles long and a mile wide at the mouth of Narragansett Bay — plus the uninhabited Dutch Island and Gould Island (per the Beacon Journal, read September 25, 2026). Housing is a mix of century-old cedar-shingled homes and modern architecture, with low stone walls tracing the island's farming past (per Teri Degnan Real Estate).
