History

Church was well known for his role in the late 17th-century conflicts with surrounding Native American tribes, notably the Narragansetts and Wampanoags. They called the area Sakonnet (variations include Sogkonate, Seconit, Seaconnet, etc.), which is said to mean "the black goose comes". After first attempting negotiations with Awashonks, they petitioned the Plymouth Colony, which granted them their charter. In 1682, the town was incorporated by the Plymouth Colony and renamed Little Compton. Local lore claims that the tower was constructed to obscure the line of sight of a town local.
