Warren, Rhode Island –  Warren sits on the east bank of the Warren River, an arm of Narragansett Bay, and is bounded by the towns of Barrington, Bristol and Swansea, Massachusetts. A 1748 census indicates a population of 380 people in the town, 30 of whom were Native Americans. Warren received its name from the British naval hero, Admiral Sir Peter Warren, who had been victorious at the battle of Louisburg in June 1745

Warren is a unique town with both sandy beaches and rolling farmland.  You can explore our shops, galleries, theatre and restaurants or ride down the stunning East Bay Bike Path that stretches from Providence to our neighbor, Bristol.  If you have more time, stop by our local library–Warren is steeped in Native American and colonial history and continues to be one of the last working waterfronts in the area.
