Welcome to the Town of
Smithfield, Rhode Island
and our web site. Our
site is updated daily
with current
information. We hope you
find this web site
informative and helpful
in dealing with the
Town.
Smithfield is
located in
north-central Rhode
Island. The Town was
founded in
1730 and is home to
approximately 21,000
people, covering 26.7
square miles. The Town
is experiencing
continued growth.
Fidelity Investments,
the nation’s largest
mutual fund company has
located one of two New
England regional centers
in Smithfield. We are
also the home to a
division of Alexion
Pharmaceuticals,
Navigant Credit Union,
Uvex Corporation, FGX
International (AAi
Foster Grant), and many
other large and small
companies. A regional
shopping mall, The
Crossing at Smithfield,
is located at the
junction of Putnam Pike
(Rt. 44) and Interstate
295. Additionally,
Smithfield is home to
Bryant University, a top
business school.
Since 1994, the town has
been administered under
the Council/Manager form
of
government. Partisan
elections are held every
two years to elect five
Town Council members who
select a Council
President. The
Town Manager
is appointed by the
Smithfield Town Council
to serve as the
administrative head of
the Town Government. The
Manager appoints all
Department Directors,
except the Town Clerk
(Clerk of the Council)
and the Town Solicitor.
The Town is
strategically located
within a 50 minute drive
of Boston and less than
one hour from Rhode
Island’s finest beaches.
Smithfield is also
located 15 minutes from
Providence and its fine
restaurants, shopping,
renovated waterfront and
cultural activities.
Largely combining rural
and suburban lifestyles,
the Town is
predominately
residential, with
commercial and
industrial use
development along Routes
7, 116 and 44. Several
major roads traverse
Smithfield: Interstate
295 runs roughly
north-south through the
town.
These state roads cross
the town in a roughly
southeast-northwest
direction – Putnam Pike
(Route 44, Farnum Pike
(Route 104) and Douglas
Pike (Route 7) – linking
a series of villages:
Esmond, Georgiaville,
Stillwater, Spragueville
and Greenville, whose
developments date
largely from the
nineteenth century.
These villages make up
much of the town’s civic
and social fabric,
steeped in a New England
town tradition. The Town
is graced by a series of
seven natural and
man-made ponds, which
provide recreation and
natural beauty for its
citizens. The town
retains large
undeveloped, heavily
forested lands,
including several active
apple orchards and
farms. A small state
airport,
North Central (SFZ),
is set on the
northeastern border of
the Town.
