Cumberland: Blackstone Valley Town on the Massachusetts Line
Cumberland occupies the northeast corner of Rhode Island, bordered by Massachusetts on the north and east and by the Blackstone River on the west. The town was transferred from Massachusetts to Rhode Island in 1747 along with several other communities in the long-running border negotiations between the two colonies. Cumberland was named for the Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II.
Diamond Hill State Park occupies a geological feature of exposed quartz that early settlers mistook for diamonds. The state acquired the site in the 1930s and operated a ski area there into the 1980s. The park now supports hiking, picnicking, and summer concerts. The Cumberland Monastery, built in 1900 by Trappist monks who left France during a period of religious restrictions, served as a working monastery until fire destroyed the main building in 1950. The surviving structures are now the Cumberland Public Library and surrounding town park.
The town's population is approximately 35,000. Cumberland operates within the Blackstone Valley National Heritage Corridor and retains the dense networks of mill villages, stone walls, and historic farms that characterised the region in the nineteenth century. The Valley Falls section along the Blackstone River retains the granite foundations of textile mills that employed much of the community before the industry declined.
