North-Kingstown is located in Washington County in southern Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census, the population was 26,486. It's most well-known for being home to the historic little village of Wickford, which is the birthplace of the famous American artist Gilbert Stuart. Wickford is within the village of Saunderstown in the southern part of North Kingstown. Stuart painted the well-known portrait of George Washington that is featured on the U.S. one-dollar bill. Originally, the town of Kings Towne was founded in 1674. In 1722, it split into two parts; North Kingstown and South Kingstown. In 1742, the town of Exeter was formed from the western part of North Kingstown. Much later, in 1888, a narrow strip of land along the eastern bank of the Pettaquamscutt River to the shore of Narragansett Bay was separated from South Kingstown to form the town of Narragansett. Today, the area is known for its' unspoiled shoreline and peaceful atmosphere. Attractions in North Kingstown include the Gilbert Stuart Birthplace and Museum, which contains the house in which Stuart was born, as well as a functional gristmill and a nature trail. Also in Saunderstown is the Casey Farm, an 18th century plantation that still grows organic vegetables, herbs and flowers. Recreational activities in the area include sailing, boating, fishing, kayaking, swimming, beachcombing, seal watching, and golf.
