In the 1800's wealthy New Yorkers filled the center of Newport's Harbor area with their lavish vacation houses, essentially creating Cliff Walk real estate. Looking to find a new place for their summer homes, they began building on an undeveloped cliff on the southernmost tip of Aquidneck Island. Grand mansions went up along the beautiful coastline overlooking Rhode Island Sound and the Atlantic Ocean. As decades passed, residents of these homes improved the walkway along the water said to have been made by the Native Americans, and created a scenic escape from town now visited by thousands every year.
