The Town of Swansea is a suburban/rural community founded on the premise
of religious tolerance for all. Unfortunately, the town also turned out
to be the starting place of King Philip's war in 1675 and the site of the
first bloodshed of the war. Before that war there were several historic
Indian settlement sites and trails in the town.
Colonial settlement began in 1663 and the town was named after
a minister's home village in Wales. In 1664, King Philip had conveyed the
land in the community to William Brenton of Newport and by the start of
the Indian war, there were 70 people staying in the garrison fortified house
in town and several occupied houses on the Neck. During the war, Indian
attacks destroyed every house in town
