Pawtuxet Village, Historic district in Cranston and Warwick, United States
Located where the Pawtuxet River meets the Providence River and Narragansett Bay, the district contains preserved Colonial buildings and maritime structures.
The 1772 burning of British revenue schooner HMS Gaspee by Rhode Island patriots at Pawtuxet River marked the first military action toward independence.
The Rhodes brothers established textile manufacturing in the early 1800s, producing the first American woolen broadcloth from Norwegian sheep wool.
The district offers multiple dining options, including tea rooms, cafes, pubs, and restaurants, with annual food events highlighting local establishments.
The name Pawtuxet derives from Native American language meaning Little Falls, reflecting the water features that attracted early European settlers.
