West Warwick Town

West Warwick Town Hall is located at 1170 Main Street, West Warwick, RI 02893; phone: 401-822-9200.

The township, shaped like an inverted triangle set on a square, was separated from Warwick and incorporated in 1913 because of the distance between the thick cluster of villages along the Pawtuxet River and the shore villages holding most of the population of the present Warwick. [1]
