About Scituate, Rhode Island
Scituate is a town of 10,384 people in Providence County, west of Providence. Families from Scituate, Massachusetts, settled here in 1710 and carried their old town's name with them. It was first written "Satuit," a Native word for a cold brook or cold river. The land belonged to Providence until 1731. Voters held their first town meeting at the Angell Tavern in South Scituate and chose Stephen Hopkins to run it. Hopkins later governed Rhode Island and signed the Declaration of Independence. In 1781 Foster broke away as a town of its own, taking the western half.
For most of its history Scituate was a cluster of small villages, from North Scituate and Hope to Kent, Rockland and Ponaganset. In 1915 Rhode Island's General Assembly claimed 14,800 acres, 38 percent of the town, so a reservoir could supply greater Providence. Crews dammed the Pawtuxet River at Kent, and the water began rising on November 10, 1925. Kent, Richmond, Rockland, South Scituate, Ashland, Saundersville and Ponaganset vanished, along with parts of North Scituate and Clayville. The reservoir is now the biggest man-made lake in Rhode Island. With six smaller reservoirs feeding it, it gives drinking water to over 60 percent of Rhode Islanders.
“1,195 buildings, including 375 houses, seven schools, six churches, six mills, thirty dairy farms, eleven ice houses, post offices, and an electric railway system, the Providence and Danielson Railway system”
- Cannons from Hope FurnaceIron ore turned up near the village of Hope in 1765, and a furnace followed a year later. Besides pig iron and household goods, the Hope Furnace forged 76 cannons for the Revolution. A wooden cotton mill came in 1806. After it burned, Brown and Ives of Providence built a four-story stone mill in 1844, with thirteen double tenements on Mill Street for workers. It made cloth until 2007, and in August 2023 the town voted to demolish it.
- An art festival since 1967The Old Congregational Church on Greenville Road was built in 1834 to a design by Clark Sayles, and it passed to the town in 1940. In 1967 local people started an art festival on its grounds to pay for restoring the inside of the church. It is still held every Columbus Day weekend in North Scituate, with more than 300 artists and craftspeople and 200,000 to 350,000 visitors.
- The Smithville SeminaryFreewill Baptists founded the Smithville Seminary in 1839 on a knoll above Lake Moswansicut. In 1845 Henry Barnard chose it for his first Rhode Island Teachers Institute. The school was renamed the Lapham Institute in 1863 and closed for good in 1876. The Pentecostal Collegiate Institute moved in from Saratoga Springs, New York, in 1902 and left in 1919 as Eastern Nazarene College. The Greek Revival buildings now hold the Scituate Commons apartments.
- The Supreme Court's first caseIn 1788 William West, a militia general and Scituate's representative, led an armed crowd of farmers into Providence to protest the new U.S. Constitution. Three years later, in 1791, the U.S. Supreme Court decided the first case it ever heard. That case, West v. Barnes, was about a farm in Scituate.
- Listening post on Chopmist HillDuring World War II, a Federal Communications Commission station on Darby Road near Chopmist Hill listened in on German radio traffic. Because of that station, the Chopmist Hill area was weighed in 1946 as a site for the headquarters of the United Nations.
