The Compo–Owenoke Historic District encompasses an early 20th-century summer resort beach community in Westport, Connecticut.
Developed between 1910 and 1940, the Compo Beach area contains one of the largest assemblages of period resort architecture in Westport, and one of the best such collections in the region.
[1] Compo and Owenoke occupy the southern portion of a peninsula extending into Long Island Sound south of downtown Westport.
The Owenoke Point peninsula projects westward from Compo; part of it was originally an island joined to the mainland by landfill in the 1930s.
The beach area was developed with bathing facilities, dancing pavilions, and a marina, but deed restrictions on most properties precluded the construction of hotels.
