Warwick RI Community Profile & History
Warwick, Rhode Island is a growing city located in central Rhode Island. Founded by Samuel Gorton in 1642, the city has witnessed many of the major events of American history. The land purchase that led to the city's founding was a matter of dispute among the local sachems, who took their case to Boston and had the new lands placed under Massachusetts rule. A standoff ensued between Gorton's men and a colonial militia from Massachusetts; while the colonial forces ultimately prevailed, the conflict inspired the neighboring communities of Providence, Portsmouth, and Newport to unite and obtain a royal charter. As a result, the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations was established in 1644. Though Massachusetts still held claim to the area that now comprises Warwick, it made no further effort to enforce the claim.
The community was decimated during King Philip's War (1675-76) and was the site of the first shot fired of the American Revolution against the British schooner Gaspee. The city is also the home of Revolutionary War general Nathaniel Greene, George Washington's second in command, and the Civil War hero of the battle of Gettysburg, General George Sears Greene.
Warwick is centrally located and features the largest commercial air terminal, Theodore Francis Green State Airport, and the two largest shopping malls in the state. Residents and visitors alike can enjoy the city's 39 miles of beautiful coastline, with several fresh and saltwater beaches alongside marinas, waterfront restaurants and two historic lighthouses. The city also boasts one of the largest state parks, Goddard Memorial State Park, which offers picnic areas, golfing and salt water bathing.
The city's convenient location and extensive transportation options are perfectly suited for further industrial, commercial and population growth. Perched between the traditions of the past and the expansive promise of the future, the city remains a shining example of the best New England has to offer.
