"Sowams was a rich land, described as a “garden” by Miles Standish and prized by the Native tribes for its rich soil, abundant wildlife and access to the water that provided their food.... [T]he towns of Barrington, Bristol, East Providence, Providence, Rehoboth, Seekonk, Swansea, and Warren were laid out in what was once Sowams.... [This project identifies] the vestiges of that original pristine land and the evidence of the first steps in 17th century colonial occupation that transformed Sowams into what we have today."
