  • Central Falls Walking Tour Central Falls Takes Its Name from a Waterfall
    Central Falls Walking Tour Preservation Society of Pawtucket Central Falls takes its name from a waterfall on the Blackstone River where in the mid-eighteenth century Benjamin Smith built a trench to divert water power to his snuff mill, and where in 1811 Captain Stephen Jenks built a trip-hammer and blacksmith shop and was contracted to produce muskets for the United States government. It was Stephen who would choose the name Central Falls for the town. Central Falls, like Pawtucket, was originally part of the town of Providence. Between 1675 and 1725, many people in Providence moved into the wilderness north and west of the city. People migrated so rapidly that in 1730 the "outlands " were divided into the three townships of Smithfield, Scituate and Glocester. Smithfield was at first an agricultural territory, but as cotton production expanded, several factories were built there. The Blackstone River was the area’s eastern boundary. The Providence and Worcester railroad, completed in 1847, followed the course of the Blackstone, and accelerated the growth of these manufacturing villages. In that same year, the Rhode Island General Assembly passed an act to establish the Central Falls Fire District within the town of Smithfield. In 1871, Smithfield was divided further and the town of Lincoln was established. Lincoln included the district of Central Falls, which by then was a center of production and commerce, similar to the village of Pawtucket, and different from the rest of Lincoln. Permission was given to the district to tax citizens for services such as street lights, a police force, water supply, and a free library (the fire district had essentially become a municipal corporation).

  • Finding of No Significant Impact and Final
    Fin ding of No Significant Impact & Final Environmental Assessment United States Department of Agriculture Fo r the Blackstone River Fish Passage Restoration Project Natural Resources Blackstone River, Rhode Island Conservation Service November 2008 ~NRCS FONSI, Page 1 of 4 Natural Resources Conservation Service October 2008 Finding of No Significant Impact for the Environmental Assessment (EA) on The Blackstone River Fish Passage Restoration Project I. AGENCY ROLE AND RESPONSIBILITY- United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) -Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) In accordance with the NRCS regulations (7 Code of Federal Regulations Part 650) implementing the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), NRCS has completed an environmental review of the following proposed action: The construction of Denil-style fish ladders and eel passages at the Main Street, Slater Mill, and Valley Falls Dams. The removal of the Elizabeth Webbing Dam was also considered in the analysis as a part of the proposed action. Although NRCS does not have any formal federal decision-making authority in the form of a long term agreement to undertake activities to restore aquatic passage at the Elizabeth Webbing Dam, it has been included within the scope of the EA because of its integral relationship to the three funded fish passage projects. Further dam removal feasibility analyses will be required for the removal or breaching of Elizabeth Webbing Dam. As no federal action by NRCS is proposed for the Elizabeth Webbing Dam, this feasibility study is beyond the scope of this EA. NRCS anticipates that any adverse effects, as documented by future feasibility studies, will be evaluated and appropriate mitigation measures employed by future project proponents of this site.
