Geocache Description:

Here is another edition in our puzzle series providing you history of various towns in SE Massachusetts and Rhode Island.


N 41° 48.L[M-2]N W 071° 20.OP[Q+1]


East Providence was incorporated as a town in 186L and as a city in 195P.

In 16N1, the Plymouth Colony purchased from the Indians a large tract of land which today includes the northern half of East Providence, Rehoboth, Seekonk and part of Pawtucket.

M years later, John Brown of Plymouth bought a considerably smaller piece of land from the Indians, which today comprises the southern part of East Providence, Barrington, and a small part of Swansea.

From the time of the Wannamoisett purchase in 1O45 to the Civil War, the shore land from Watchemoket to Bullocks Point had remained a sparsely settled fishing and farming area.

Beginning around 1900 and continuing until the onset of the Depression in 1930, large numbers of Portuguese settled in East Providence. By 190Q, there were over 400 Portuguese in East Providence, the third highest in the state.
