Middletown is a lovely city in Newport County, located just north of Newport on Aquidneck Island (aka Rhode Island). The town, which was originally part of the city of Newport during the region's colonial days, was incorporated as its own area in 1743. Today, it is home to a plethora of colonial-era historic sites, including the historic Prescott Farm, which is noted for its connection to British General Richard Prescott. Beautiful natural areas include the Sachuest Point National Wildlife Refuge, which is known as an important migratory spot for harlequin duck populations.
