About Woonsocket, Rhode Island
Woonsocket is a city of 43,240 people in Providence County, on the Blackstone River at the Massachusetts line. The Nipmuc, Wampanoag and Narragansett lived here before Europeans came, and in 1661 Roger Williams bought the land from the Coweset and Nipmuc, calling it Niswosakit in a letter. Later the river's water power drew textile mills, and the city grew from six mill villages that formed around them.
Those villages belonged to two different towns. Woonsocket Falls, Social and Jenckesville broke away from Cumberland in 1867 to form the town of Woonsocket. Hamlet, Bernon and Globe came over from Smithfield in 1871, which set the boundaries the city keeps today, and Woonsocket was incorporated as a city in 1888.
- The first mill in 1810The Social Manufacturing Company started spinning cotton thread in 1810 in a small wooden building beside the Mill River, the first textile mill in what became Woonsocket. General Edward Carrington, one of the men behind the Blackstone Canal, founded Hamlet in 1815. In 1822 Job and Luke Jenckes founded Jenckesville and put up the first stone mill. Sullivan Dorr and Crawford Allen bought the mill company at Danville in 1832 and renamed the village Bernon.
- The most French cityMost mill workers who arrived for jobs came from Quebec and other parts of French Canada. By the Great Depression, 75 percent of the city was French Canadian, with French newspapers, films and radio shows, and as late as 1980 the share was still 70 percent.
- Governor Aram J. PothierBorn in Quebec City in 1854, Pothier followed his parents to Woonsocket. Around 1881 his father bought a story-and-a-half house on Pond Street, Pothier's home for life. Mayor in the 1890s, he became Rhode Island's first governor with French-Canadian roots, serving 1909 to 1915 and 1925 until dying in 1928. He drew French investors to the French Worsted Company, which spun fine yarns until 1969.
- The Bernon Worsted MillCharles Augustus Proulx built this long, two-story brick mill on Park Avenue in 1919 to spin custom worsted wool yarns. It turned out textiles off and on until 2004. In 2005 it joined the National Register and reopened as apartments called the Red Mill Lofts.
- Autumnfest since 1979After the textile trade stalled in the Depression, the mills revived in World War II making fabric for the war, including military uniforms. Today the city is home to CVS Health's headquarters, and every Columbus Day weekend since 1979 it has drawn thousands to Autumnfest at World War II Veterans Memorial State Park.
