1 янв 1642 г. - Warwick founded

Описание:

The settlement of Warwick in modern-day Rhode Island was founded by Samuel Gorton. He purchased the land from the Narragansett Sachem (chief) Miantonomi. However, other Sachems disputed the sale, and protested to the Boston government. In response, the next year Massachusetts sent militiamen to Warwick to arrest Gorton and his supporters. Most surrendered, and the settlement was instead incorporated into one colony, along with Newport, Portsmouth, and Providence Plantations.
