East Greenwich, Colonial town in Kent County, Rhode Island, United States
East Greenwich occupies 16.71 square miles of land along the western shore of Narragansett Bay, featuring both residential neighborhoods and commercial districts.
The town, established in 1677, became one of Rhode Island's five original capital cities and played a role in forming the first United States Navy in 1772.
The Greenwich Odeum theater presents performances throughout the year, while YJ Contemporary Fine Art displays modern artwork in Rhode Island's largest gallery space.
Main Street contains numerous local shops, including Third Rock Emporium for minerals, Bone Appetit for pet supplies, and multiple fashion boutiques for clothing.
The former village of Scalloptown, established in the 19th century for fishing activities, stood until 1913 when authorities condemned the entire settlement.
