About Warwick
Warwick is a city of about 82,800 residents in Kent County, sitting roughly 12 miles south of downtown Providence and 63 miles southwest of Boston. It was founded in 1642, incorporated as a town in 1647, and reorganized as a city in 1931. The city covers roughly 49.75 total square miles, of which about 14.75 square miles are water — much of it shoreline along Narragansett Bay and Greenwich Bay.
The city is geographically and architecturally diverse. Apponaug serves as the civic center, where Warwick City Hall and the Apponaug Four Corners historic district anchor city government. Bayfront villages such as Conimicut, Pawtuxet, Warwick Neck, and Oakland Beach front the water and include landmarks like the Conimicut Light at the mouth of the Providence River. Inland neighborhoods like Cowesett and Hillsgrove sit closer to the I-95 corridor and the airport. Pawtuxet Village, a National Register historic district shared with neighboring Cranston, is one of the oldest village centers in New England.
Warwick is also Rhode Island's transportation hub. T.F. Green International Airport — the state's primary commercial airport — sits in the Hillsgrove section, and the adjacent MBTA Commuter Rail station at T.F. Green provides Providence/Stoughton Line service to Providence and Boston South Station. RIPTA operates roughly a dozen bus routes through the city. Walk Score rates the city overall as "Car-Dependent" with a Walk Score of 35, a Transit Score of 25, and a Bike Score of 36.
