Roger Williams started a trading post with the Narragansetts in the 1630s, likely northeast of the brook and harbor.
This homestead was originally a fortified house and trading post of Richard Smith.
[2] Female sachem Quaiapen lived near Cocumscussoc and was associated with nearby Queen's Fort after inheriting her husband's lands in 1657.
