Quinnville, Rhode Island

Quinnville is a village incorporated into the Town of Lincoln, Rhode Island, United States.

There is a former control gate at the northern end of the village, accessible by the former tow path for the canal.

This gate was built by the Lonsdale Company to control the flow of water into the Canal in 1903, at which time this portion of the Canal was no longer used for transportation, but was providing water for power and processing at the Lonsdale Mills, approximately three miles downstream.

Historically, the area currently known as Quinnville was incorporated into the Town of Cumberland, Rhode Island as part of the village of Ashton, connected by a bridge across the Blackstone River.
