RI · 41.5361, -71.4429

Route 102 (Ten Rod Road), Revolutionary Heritage Byway and Ministerial Road are 3 of 10 signed byways within 30 miles of North Kingstown, Rhode Island.

The history of the town dates back to 1637, when theologian Roger Williams established a trading post between two major Native American thoroughfares. In 1674, “Kings Towne” was founded by the colonial government and included several present-day towns. Kings Towne was the center of the King Philip's War fought from 1675 to 1676. At the start of the 18th century, settlement increased so quickly that in 1722 the colonial government divided Kings Towne into North and South, with North Kingstown being the area of earliest settlement.
