Burrillville
Measuring 57.3 square miles, Burrillville is the
largest town in northern Rhode Island. Located in the northwest corner
of the state, the town borders Connecticut to the west and Massachusetts
to the north. Until the 1950s, the town was a thriving woolen textile
community, using the town's rivers for power.
The textile industry has long left the community, but the mills led to
the development of the town's many small villages. Main Street in the
village of Pascoag is a fine example of a typical mill village that has
remained virtually unchanged for 100 years. The area serves as an
educational piece for visitors to the John H. Chafee Blackstone River
Valley National Heritage Corridor. With its many lakes, ponds and
rivers, the town offers anglers and campers many options for water
recreational activities. Spring Lake Beach - a town-operated facility -
is considered one of the most pristine lakes in Rhode Island.
Burrillville uses a Town Council/Town Manager form of government and
routinely welcomes new business and residents alike.
