Warwick



Warwick was settled by Samuel Gorton in 1642. In 1676, during King Philip's War, Warwick was almost completely destroyed. Not far from Warwick is Gaspee Point, which was the scene of the burning of the British revenue cutter Gaspee in 1772. The event is commemorated during the annual 'Gaspee Days'.

The city's textile industry dates from 1794. Other manufactures include machinery, metals, pipes and tubing and silverware. Warwick includes the villages of Apponaug, on Greenwich Bay and Hillsgrove, which is the site of the state airport. There are also several resorts. Warwick has a very large music arena. American Revolutionary general Nathanael Greene was born in the city.

Accommodation and restaurants are available in town. Warwick is in central Rhodes Island, at the head of Narragansett Bay, 15 km south of Providence and 550 km northeast of Washington D.C.
