Return to Index History & History Related Items Barrington history: Barrington was first known as Sowams and was the home of the chief of the Wampanoag, Massasoit. The land was purchased by Pilgrims in 1653 from Massasoit and incorporated as Swansea as part of Massachusetts. Then, in 1746, it became part of Rhode Island. A year later, in 1947, the name was changed to Warren for Sir Peter Warren of the British Army. Then on 16 June 1770, Barrington was carved from Warren and made an independent town. The people here made their livings then most from farming. Later during the 1800’s, it began to be a popular vacation spot. Try this history page for Barrington.
