Nestled along the historic Blackstone River, the birthplace of America's Industrial Revolution, Blackstone combines small-town atmosphere with rich heritage. The town, incorporated in 1845 and named after early New England settler William Blaxton, features well-preserved architecture and scenic riverside views, including the Rolling Dam.
Located within the Providence metropolitan area, Blackstone provides access to employment centers in both Massachusetts and Rhode Island, with Woonsocket and Providence nearby. The Blackstone River Valley National Heritage Corridor offers recreational opportunities, while the town's distinct areas—including Blackstone Village, East Blackstone, and Waterford—each maintain their own character. The rental market here typically offers more affordable options compared to surrounding communities.
