Kent County, in the great state of Rhode Island, has a rich history dating back to its founding in 1750. It is located in the central-western part of the state, bordered by Providence County to the north and east, Washington County to the south and Connecticut to the west. Covering an area of about 170 square miles, it is the second-smallest county in Rhode Island.
The land now known as Kent County belonged to the Narragansett Indian Tribe before the arrival of European settlers. The area was first explored by Dutch navigator Adriaen Block in the early 17th century. Thomas Greene, an Englishman and Kent County's namesake, arrived in the area with a group of settlers in 1642. He settled near what is now the city of Warwick, where he later served as a magistrate, judge, and deputy governor.
During the American Revolution, Kent County played a significant role in the fight for independence. Occupying both the British and the American armies throughout various points of the conflict, the county was a site of skirmishes and battles, including the Great Swamp Fight-a key victory for the colonists.
After the Revolution, Kent County's economy thrived. At the peak of the industrial revolution in the 19th century, the region was home to numerous mills producing textiles, machinery, and tools. The county experienced growth and expansion, especially in the cities of Warwick, West Warwick, and Coventry, where mill villages were established.
A fun fact about Kent County is that it was home to Elizabeth Aldridge, also known as "Mother Aldridge." Born in 1714, she lived to be an astonishing 114 years old, making her one of the oldest documented people in Rhode Island history. She resided in the village of Quidnessett (now North Kingstown) and was locally famous for her longevity and memory, being able to recall events throughout her life with exceptional clarity.
