Barrington, New England town in Bristol County, Rhode Island, US
Barrington sits across two peninsulas extending into Narragansett Bay, with coastal landscapes and rolling terrain throughout the town. Homes and neighborhoods spread across this geographic setting, taking advantage of waterfront and inland areas.
The area was originally home to the Wampanoag people and known as Sowams before undergoing significant changes. It became an independent Rhode Island town in 1770.
The Barrington Preservation Society runs educational programs that help visitors understand the local architecture and heritage. These initiatives show how the community values and maintains its buildings and past.
The East Bay Bike Path connects Barrington with five neighboring towns, making it convenient for cycling along the coast. The route is easy to navigate and works well for different fitness levels.
Three protected historic districts preserve local architecture featuring Tudor-style homes and other structures from different periods. These districts showcase different building styles that reflect the town's development.
