Apponaug, Rhode Island
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Apponaug is a neighborhood in central Warwick, Rhode Island, situated on Apponaug Cove, a tributary to Greenwich Bay and nearby Narragansett Bay. The name Apponaug is a derivation of the Narragansett Indian word for "place of oysters." Indeed, Apponaug Cove holds one the richest shellfish beds in the United States and was, for many centuries prior to the arrival of European settlers, densely populated by the Narragansetts.
Today, Apponaug is considered "downtown" or central Warwick as Warwick City Hall is located here as well as Police and Fire headquarters. Apponaug is located at the confluence of three of Warwick's primary streets: Centerville Road, Greenwich Avenue, and Post Road.
