Barrington, New England town in Bristol County, Rhode Island, US
Barrington extends across two peninsulas into Narragansett Bay, featuring coastal landscapes and rolling terrain that shape the residential environment of 16,500 inhabitants.
The territory, originally inhabited by Wampanoag Indians and known as Sowams, underwent multiple changes before its incorporation as an independent Rhode Island town in 1770.
The Barrington Preservation Society leads educational programs, including a specialized curriculum for third graders and visits to the Civic Center Historic District Museum.
The East Bay Bike Path connects Barrington to five neighboring towns, offering residents and visitors opportunities for cycling and outdoor recreation along the coast.
Three distinct Historic Districts - City Center, Alfred Drown Road, and Jennys Lane - preserve architectural heritage through Tudor-style buildings and historical structures.
