Westerly, founded in 1669 by John Babcock, is a beachfront community on the south shore of Washington County, Rhode Island. The population was 22,966 at the 2000 census
Westerly's primary industries today are textiles and tourism, but historically Westerly was also famous for its granite, mined from quarries in Bradford and Potter Hill.
Westerly was named for the settlement's location, respective to Rhode Island's geography, being the westernmost town in the state. There is also a possibility that Westerly got its name from the English village of Westerleigh, England. The English village was the home of one of Westerly, Rhode Island's founding father's, Elder John Crandall (1616/7-1676). Elder John settled in Westerly in 1661 and the early history of Westerly contains many references to him and to his sons.
Westerly sits atop a glacial moraine, which is a series of small hills of debris left behind by receding glaciers in the last ice age. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
