Prior to the arrival of the settlers, the Nehantic Indians fished and
hunted along the shoreline, and afterward lived amicably among
the newcomers, who gave this district its name of Niantic, a variant
of the tribal name.
Currently, Niantic is a quaint , artistic community with eclectic
shopping, unique dining, and a variety of activities to satisfy every
taste. See pictures and activities below and visit our Local Dining
