Seekonk, Massachusetts is a suburban community on the Rhode Island border. Incorporated in 1812 from the western half of Rehoboth, Seekonk features rolling hills and unspoilt wetlands, with extensive swamp acreage in the central portions of the town. During King Philip’s War, settlers fled the Seekonk area and took refuge in several Garrison houses to the north and south. Historians speculate that the buildings in town suffered severe damage during the war; it was probably after 1676 that settlers began filtering back into Seekonk.

The community remained basically agricultural into the 20th century, although the Kent Manufacturing Company did make tennis racquets and croquet sets on the upper reaches of the Tenmile River. With the opening of the Providence and Taunton Street railway in 1891, Seekonk became increasingly a residential suburb of Providence.

Seekonk offers the virtues and values of small town living within easy reach of Boston, MA, Providence, RI, and the beaches of Cape Cod and Rhode Island. With a high quality of education and diverse cultural and recreational choices, Seekonk and its surrounding communities are ideal places to raise a family or locate a business.
