Hopkinton: Rural Town on the Connecticut Border
Hopkinton occupies the southwestern corner of Rhode Island along the Connecticut state line. The town was set off from Westerly in 1757 and covers about 44 square miles, most of it forested or in low-density rural residential use. The population is roughly 8,300. The Pawcatuck River forms the southern boundary with Westerly, and the Wood River runs through the western part of town.
The Hopkinton City village, despite the name, is not a city but a small historic village centered on the Hopkinton Town House and the former meetinghouse. The village of Ashaway, near the Connecticut line, developed around mills on the Ashaway River and gave its name to the Ashaway Line and Twine Manufacturing Company, which produced fishing line and tennis string beginning in 1824 and operated under family ownership for generations.
Arcadia Management Area, the largest state-managed forested area in Rhode Island, extends into Hopkinton and offers hunting, hiking, and horseback riding across thousands of acres. The North-South Trail passes through the town as it traces a route from the Massachusetts border to the Atlantic coast.
