Middletown is located on Aquidneck Island in Newport County, Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census, the population was 16,150. It lies to the south of Portsmouth and to the north of the city of Newport, which is how it got its' name of "Middletown." Known as the "farming community" of Aquidneck Island, most of the rural land is towards the east end of the town and the developed land is to the west. Middletown is home to several nice beaches and things to do in the area include swimming, boating, sailing, fishing, beachcombing, hiking, birding, biking, golf and tennis. Middletown is also home to many historical sites, such as Prescott Farm, circa 1715. Prescott Farm spans 40 acres and includes an operational windmill (c. 1811), a county store (c. 1715), and British General Prescott's Guard House. The farm is typical of farms on Aquidneck Island and the University of Rhode Island is working on a project to produce a historical vegetable garden that will contain crops grown during the 1700s. Other attractions near Middletown include the historical mansions, buildings, and museums of Newport. The city of Newport also offers several special events throughout the year, such as the Newport Jazz Festival, the Newport Folk Festival, and the Newport International Film Festival. One of the most well-known attractions in the area is the Newport Cliff Walk, a 3.5-mile public access walkway along the shoreline that's been designated a National Recreation Trail.
