In 1871, ship captains asked that Point Judith's fog signal be changed from a horn to whistle.

This change distinguished the Point Judith light from the Beavertail Lighthouse, which used a siren to announce fog.

Point Judith Light was automated in 1954, and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.
