Cocumscussoc

Cocumscussoc is a brook and surrounding region in Wickford, Rhode Island.

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.

The creation of a railroad in the 1800s and the expansion of Route 1 greatly altered the course of Cocumscussoc Brook.
