Primrose, Rhode Island

Primrose is a village in North Smithfield, Rhode Island, United States.

The Primrose Fire Department and North Smithfield High School are located in the area.

[1] The geography of Primrose was drastically changed by the Wisconsin glaciation between 70,000 and 10,000 years ago.

This glaciation or "Ice Age" created a more rugged terrain, and deposited granite throughout the landscape.

Remnants of a dam, a small viaduct, and a mill trench are located along the southern edge.
