Coventry Rhode
Island Home Improvement
On
August 24, 1741, the western end of the Town of Warwick had been
purchased by Samuel Gorton, and others from Miantonomi. It was set
off and incorporated into a township to be known as Coventry and
named for Coventry, England. The new town extended from what is
now West Warwick to the Connecticut line, and contained 64.8
square miles. Therefore it became larger than its mother town,but
was more sparsely populated. Early figures show that in 1748,
Coventry's population was approximately 792.
Several
villages, originally built around mills, lie in the eastern
section of town close to the West Warwick boundary. Anthony, was
settled around a cotton mill built c. 1805. Washington, was
actually founded as the rural village of Braytonville in the
mid-18TH Century, but the arrival of the Washington Manufacturing
Company, in 1812, turned it into a textile center. In the most
north eastern corner of Coventry are the mill villages of Harris,
Phenix, and just over the Cranston line, Fiskeville, with a few
good examples of 19TH Century mill cottages and mill architecture.
Today,
while the western portion of Coventry is still rural in nature,
the eastern section is one of the most rapidly growing residential
communities in Rhode Island. However, the community still retains
some old textile mill villages. The housing pattern consists of
multi-family units in the older sections of the town, and owner
occupied single family units in the newly developed areas.
Commercial strip and shopping centers are the main commerce
outlets.
