Jerusalem is a small fishing village located within the town of Narragansett on Point Judith. It's named after the Biblical city of Jerusalem, and there's also a village by the name of Galilee across the harbor. According to local legend, the towns were named around 1902. The story goes as thus: a fisherman named Thomas Mann from Nova Scotia who had settled there felt the village that had sprung up with its fishing shacks should be called Galilee, after the fishing village of biblical times. One day, an old timer sat on the docks repairing his nets when a stranger called out to him, Where am I. The answer was Galilee. And what is that? the stranger asked pointing to the other side of the channel. The old timer thought for a minute, nodded his head and replied, must be Jerusalem". So, the names of Galilee and Jerusalem have been used since for the picturesque towns. The town of Narragansett is a popular tourist destination. Things to do include beachcombing, sunning and swimming, kayaking, hiking, biking, fishing, sailing, tennis, and golf. It's a very scenic area, home to many historic structures, including the landmark called The Towers. This historic structure is the only remains of the Narragansett Pier Casino built in the 1880s, which was the center of social life in the area at that time. Other homes and buildings are of the Colonial Revival, late-Victorian and Bungalow/Craftsmen-style eras.

Jerusalem Weather & Climate

Block Island's weather is classified as oceanic. It's greatly influenced by the surrounding ocean and prevailing offshore winds. Summers are warm with average highs in the upper 70s. Autumn and winter remains warmer than the mainland, due to the oceanic influences. By the same token, spring and summer remain cooler than the mainland because the ocean stays cold during this time period. Block Island lies approximately 13 miles off the coast of Rhode Island in the Atlantic Ocean. It is part of the Outer Lands region, which is a coastal archipelago that resulted from the Wisconsonian Laurentide glacier retreat some 22,000 years ago.
