In the 17th century, British colonists settled in Smithfield developing a farming community that they named after Smithfield, London in England. The town was part of Smithfield, Rhode Island until it was incorporated as North Smithfield in 1871. The first colonization occurred after a Native American, “William Minnian, (or Quashawannamut) “of Punkkupage” Massachusetts Bay on May 14, 1666, deeded approximately 2,000 acres” to John Mowry and Edward Inman who partnered with Nathaniel Mowry, John Steere, and Thomas Walling in dividing up the purchased tract. In the early 18th century, a Quaker Colony developed in what is now North Smithfield (then Smithfield), which extended into south Uxbridge, Massachusetts. Today North Smithfield is part of the John H. Chaffee Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor. The Blackstone Valley is the oldest industrialized region in the U.S.
The village of Slatersville was largely built by Samuel Slater and his brother John Slater beginning in 1803. It is a well preserved originalNew England mill village with worker housing and commercial buildings. This village is in factAmerica’s first planned industrial mill village. Samuel and John’s family owned this mill and the village until the turn of the 19th to the 20th century. The prominent Buxton family settled in the Slatersville region before 1741 creating a homestead onBuxton Street.
Samuel and his son Benjamin had come here from Salem, Massachusetts, and were Rhode Island colonists. Benjamin’s son, Captain James Buxton, was born in the family homestead, was well known in the Revolutionary War period, and is buried in the family cemetery on Buxton, Street. The Slatersville Congregational Church was long known as a Buxton church.
