Lying on the western shore of Narragansett Bay in east-central Rhode Island is the city of Warwick, home of the American Revolution’s true opening act of rebellion — the burning of the Gaspee. The city was founded in 1642, and now covers 49.7 square miles. Its median age is 45.1 (2022), and its economy is mostly driven by tourism, and the manufacture of jewelry, metals, machinery, and electronics.
