History

Little Compton originally belonged to the Wampanoag tribe, who were led by Awashonks, the sister of Metacom (commonly known as King Philip). They called the area Sakonnet (variations include Sogkonate, Seconit, and Seaconnet). The Wampanoag (Wôpanâak in the Wampanoag language) are a Native American people. ... Awashonks (also called Awashunckes or Awasoncks) was a female sachem, or chief, of the Sakonnet tribe in Seconet, Rhode Island. ... Metacomet (died August 12, 1676), also known as King Philip or Metacom, was a war chief or sachem of the Wampanoag Indians and their leader in King Philips War. ...

The first European settlers in Little Compton were Englishmen from the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts who sought to expand their land holdings by settling further on the periphery of the colony. They petitioned the Plymouth Colony, which granted them their land. There were thirty-two original owners of the land, one of whom was Colonel Benjamin Church, well-known for his role in the late 17th-century Indian Wars. In 1675, Church built his homestead in Little Compton, just prior to King Philip's War. Today, a plaque on the side of West Main Road marks the location of Church's original homestead. The English are people descended for a wide variety of roots, and who are associated, either by birth or by choice, with the culture of England (Latin: Anglia). ...

In 1682, the town was incorporated by the Plymouth Colony and renamed Little Compton. This is possibly a reference to Little Compton in Warwickshire, England. However, there is no direct evidence to substantiate this relationship. By 1747, Little Compton secured its own royal decree and was annexed to Newport County as a part of Rhode Island along with Tiverton and other towns. Because Little Compton was once part of the Plymouth colony, all probate records prior to 1746 can be found in Taunton, MA, United States.

There are many historic cemeteries; Colonel Benjamin Church and his family are buried in the Commons cemetery, as is Elizabeth Pabodie, the eldest daughter of John Alden and Priscilla Mullins of Mayflower fame. The stones in the cemetery reflect a style of carving similar to that found both in Newport and in Boston during the same time period.

Rhode Island's only town common is located in Little Compton.

While there are only a few 17th-century structures still standing, there are many which date from the 18th and 19th century. The Quaker meeting house on West Main Road, Number 8 Schoolhouse (now used as part of the Town Hall), Town Hall, Wilbur's Store, and the United Congregational Church all predate 1900 and are centered around the town commons. Additional historic homes are scattered throughout town and include the Asa Gray house, the Slicer house, Oldacre, the Brownell house on West Main Road, the Brownell house on Meetinghouse Lane, the Whalley farmstead on Burchard Ave., and the Brownell Library on the commons.

Another distinctive feature of the town is the "Spite Tower" found in the village of Adamsville. Local lore states that the tower was construvted to obscure the line of sight of a town local; while most stories involve members of the local Manchester family, there is no consesus as to the true history of the structure.

Rhode Island Red

The Rhode Island Red is a breed of chicken originally bred in Adamsville, a small village which is part of Little Compton. Little Compton is the only place in the US with a monument to a chicken. In 1925, the Rhode Island Red Club of America donated funds for an elegant monument to the Rhode Island Red in Adamsville, near the baseball field and across the street from the Barn restaurant; the monument is now on the National Register of Historic Places. A competing monument to the Rhode Island Red, claiming to have been created not for the poultry fanciers, but for the farmers who raised them commercially in great numbers in Little Compton, was erected by the state in 1954, one mile south of Adamsville.
