| The Town of Seekonk is a suburban community on the Rhode Island border. It
was incorporated in 1812 from the western half of Rehoboth and contains
rolling hills with extensive swamp acreage in the central portions of the
town. During King Philip's war, settlers fled the Seekonk area and took
refuge in several garrison houses located south and north of the town. It
is conjectured that the buildings in the town suffered severe damage during
the war and it was probably after 1676 that settlers started moving back.
Two industrial villages developed to supplement the agricultural economy,
with such businesses as the Rumford Chemical Works, but what had been the
industrial area of the town in the late 18th and early 19th century was
lost when East Providence was incorporated in 1862 taking half of the
town's territory, two-thirds of its valuation and more than two-thirds of
its population.
The town remained basically agricultural into the 20th century, although
the Kent Manufacturing Company did make tennis racquets and croquet sets on
the upper reaches of the Tenmile River. With the opening of the Providence
and Taunton street railway in 1891, Seekonk became increasingly a
residential suburb of Providence. |
