The earliest permanent settlement was established at Providence in 1636 by English clergyman Roger Williams and a small band of followers who left the repressive atmosphere of the Massachusetts Bay Colony to seek freedom of worship.
In 1644, Roger Williams journeyed to England, where he secured a parliamentary patent uniting the four original towns (Providence, Portsmouth, Newport, and Warwick) into a single colony: the Providence Plantations. This legislative grant remained in effect until the Stuart Restoration made it prudent to seek a royal charter.
The royal charter, secured for Rhode Island and the Providence Plantations from Charles II on July 15, 1663, guaranteed religious liberty, permitting significant local autonomy, and strengthened the colony's territorial claims.
Newport County was constituted on June 22, 1703, as one of the two original counties of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. As originally established, Newport County consisted of four towns: Portsmouth, Newport, Jamestown, and New Shoreham (present day Block Island).
