Rehoboth Old Town Borders
Appropriate for students in 3rd–4th grade.
History
Did you know that Rehoboth was once larger than it is today? When it was first settled in 1643, it included the same area as 14 towns that exist today.
Rehoboth claimed land as far north as a portion of Woonsocket to as far south as Bristol and from the Seekonk River in East Providence to Somerset, MA.
Let’s look at a map of old Rehoboth and identify the towns which were created after its settlement.
