Crompton is a community in West Warwick, Rhode Island, United States.
It is named after Samuel Crompton, inventor of the spinning mule.
The original structure still stands on the original site, although extensive modifications to add a further two stories by 1881 were carried out, allowing for the production of corduroy and print cloth at the site.
