North Kingstown is a city in Washington County, Rhode Island. Incorporated in 1637, North Kingstown was largely an agricultural community in the 18th century made up of small to mediumsized farms run by local families.
The 19th century took advantage of the city’s many rivers and streams with the construction of several mill villages.
