Woonsocket, Rhode Island was first settled in the late 17th Century. The early settlers farmed the land and utilized the power of the Woonsocket Falls. The city’s abundant water power was a significant factor in determining the development of Woonsocket, which was mainly industrial. From the time it was first settled until nearly a hundred years later, Woonsocket was a quiet backwoods region inhabited by Quaker farmers and millers. The quiet serenity of this early New England community soon gave way to the first stirrings of the American Industrial Revolution.
Between 1810 and 1830, six manufacturing villages sprang up around Woonsocket. New settlers arrived from surrounding towns, Europe, and Quebec. In a short time Woonsocket became a bustling, industrial and ethnically diverse community.
Today manufacturing still dominates Woonsocket’s economy, but to a lesser degree. Woonsocket’s many residents work within the city as well as in nearby Massachusetts; Boston, Worcester, Providence and the Atlantic coast are all well within an hour’s drive. Woonsocket’s central location and easy accessibility makes the city an ideal location for business development and residence. For other town tours visit http://www.virtualhomes.com .
