Several of the eastern RI areas were part of Massachusetts. Warren, Barrington, and Bristol, RI were part of Barrington/Swansea MA until 1747; Pawtucket RI was formed in 1862 from Pawtucket, MA (earlier, Seekonk, MA. Tiverton, RI was formed in 1747 from Dartmouth/Freetown, MA Cumberland, RI was formed in 1747 from Attleboro Bore, MA.
