| The Town of Rehoboth is an historic pastoral community in Bristol County
incorporated in 1745. The town never had a large amount of agricultural
land because of its extended marshy terrain and hills, but there was always
good fishing on the Palmer River and an annual herring run provided
abundant food. The first settlement of the town was about 1652 on the
southern portion of the river. The colony suffered a good deal of damage
in the King Philip war but the earliest house in town, Kingsley House,
built 1680, still remains a part of the town. By 1704 there was an iron
forge in town and by 1714 the Goff Inn was handling travelers coming
through on the stage to Taunton, Providence or Newport, Rhode Island.
Sawmills were established in 1747 and the primarily agricultural economy
was supplemented in 1809 by the opening of two cotton yarn mills at
Rehoboth Center. One of these is thought to be the first to spin very fine
cotton yarn. In the Perryville section of town, historians conjecture that
Era Perry was the first in the country to manufacture bobbins for the
area's cotton factories about 1850. The 325 farms of the town grew Indian
corn and potatoes and fattened beef cattle. Rehoboth retains dozens of
Colonial and Federal houses and cottages and there is a remarkably wide
spread of historic houses and buildings preserved throughout the community. |
