Lonsdale, Historic manufacturing district in Lincoln and Cumberland, Rhode Island.
The Lonsdale Historic District contains mill buildings, worker housing complexes, and industrial structures along the Blackstone River, spanning both Lincoln and Cumberland areas.
William Blaxton established the initial settlement in 1635 on the Lincoln side of the Blackstone River, leading to the area's development as a manufacturing center.
The textile industry shaped local life through the Ann & Hope factory complex and numerous worker housing developments on Front, John, Lonsdale, and Main Streets.
The district's location near Rhode Island Route 146 and Route 95 provides direct access to the historic buildings and former manufacturing sites.
During the 1922 New England Textile Strike, ten families lost their mill-owned homes due to labor disputes over wage reductions and extended work hours.
