The eighth oldest community in Rhode Island, East Greenwich is a blend of the old and the new. Perched above Greenwich cove just off Narragansett Bay, the town is in the exact center of the state. A safe haven for colonial-era whaling boats and sailing ships, the cove today is filled with hundreds of recreational power and sail boats. The quaint Main Street, which includes a few homes among the stores, is a mixture of unique shops and services. Numerous bridal gown shops have located here, attracting other wedding related services and giving the town the self proclaimed title of Wedding Capital of Rhode Island. The signature building of the community is the Town Hall at 125 Main Street, restored in 1995 after standing vacant for many years. Originally the Kent County Courthouse, it was built in 1804 and served as the seat of state government until 1854. The town is filled with historic homes and structures. These blend with newer homes housing many of the corporate leaders of the state.
