Plainville

Residents feel that the Town of Plainville exemplifies a small, rural community in an idyllic country setting. Geographically positioned along the northeast border of Rhode Island, the commute to Boston or Providence is both quick and convenient. A family oriented community, Plainville is heavily forested, and much of this land is dedicated to conservation through both municipal and private land conservation groups. Augmenting such conservation areas are several parks and recreation areas. Additionally, Plainville lies within both the Ten Mile and Charles River watersheds, forming a "continental divide" as one river flows north to Boston Harbor and the other south to New Bedford. Both rivers offer recreation for canoeists. The rural nature of the community is further typified by the presence of several horse farms and stables which are widely respected for their breeding and training. Industry, although limited, is characterized by quality craftsmanship and advanced engineering. Of note are such manufa urers as Whiting and Davis, of longstanding international renown, and MediaLogic, a firm on the cutting edge of computer technology.
