 According to the "Providence Journal", Bailey's Beach in Newport Rhode Island was

founded in the 1890s after new trolley service gave mill workers from Fall River ready access to Easton's Beach, a wide expanse closer to downtown Newport that the well-to-do had claimed as their own.Not wishing to associate with people who took their lunches in buckets, high society relocated several miles to Spouting Rock, smaller and often seaweedy but safely beyond the reach of trolleys.Today, approximately 500 families belong, and for the most part, new members are added only when old ones die.
