Coventry Rhode Island

On August 24, 1741, the western end of the Town of Warwick had been purchased by Samuel Gorton and others from Miantonomi. It was set off and incorporated into a township to be known as Coventry and named for Coventry, England. The new town extended from what is now West Warwick to the Connecticut line, and contained 64.8 square miles. Therefore it became larger than its mother town,but was more sparsely populated.

Today, while the western portion of Coventry is still rural in nature, the eastern section is one of the most rapidly growing residential communities in RI. However, the community still retains some old textile mill villages. The housing pattern consists of multi-family units in the older sections of the town, and owner occupied single family units in the newly developed areas. Commercial strip and shopping centers are the main commerce outlets.

Coventry is located in Kent County. Located off I-95 on Hwy 3 SW of Providence between Tiogue Lake and Flat River Reservoir.
