History of Warren
The present-day town of Warren was the seat of the native American Pokanoket Indian tribe who controlled the land from Plymouth to the Eastern shore of Narragansett Bay. Visitors from the Plymouth Colony visited in 1621 and established a warm, but tentative relationship with the Pokanoket Sachem, Massasoit. In 1623, Massasoit began gravely ill and the English colonist saved his life by nursing him through his illness and as a result, they created a lifelong ally between the Plymouth Colony and the native Americans.
The first English settlement of Warren, originally called Sowams, began in 1653 on lands which cover present-day Barrington, Warren, Swansea, and Rehoboth. In 1747, Sowams was ceded to Rhode Island and renamed Warren after the British (Irish) Naval hero Sir Peter Warren.
Warren was the original home of Brown University, which was founded in 1764. Although founded by Baptists, Brown was the only major university that welcomed students of all religious persuasions, following the example of Roger Williams, who founded Rhode Island in 1636 on the same principles of inclusion and diversity. The larger schools like Yale and Harvard were exclusively Congregationalists, while Princeton and Penn were exclusively Presbyterian.
In the 1800’s, Warren’s main business were ship building, whaling, and textile manufacturing. One of her most famous ships was the 198-foot Clipper Lookout built by Chase and Davis Boat works in Warren in 1853. The Lookout was built to serve the 10,000-mile New York to San Francisco freight market which circumvented the tip of South America. Lookout’s fastest passage was just 108 days at sea. Today Warren still has a vibrant boat building industry as well as hospitality and tourism.

Tips to avoid moving scams
Since most shopping for moving services occurs online, customers may be easily duped and defrauded by rogue movers by slick web sites. Here are some guidelines to help avoid being defrauded.
- Buy local in the 401. Always insist on an in-person visit by a salesperson rather than an over the phone or virtual estimate. It is very easy for an unscrupulous rogue mover to pretend they are local movers over the phone when they may be hundreds or thousands of miles away. Arpin of RI has been located in RI since 1900 and has served the people of RI for generations. Arpin will always make an in-person sales visit to your residence to ensure an accurate weight or time quote and to identify access issues before they become problems.
- Don’t give a deposit. If you’re asked for a deposit to make a reservation for your Warren move by an online mover, assume they are scamming you. Arpin of RI never requires a deposit to hold the date for your move. If the online mover assumes you have so little integrity that they must get half of the monies up front, you have chosen the wrong movers.
- Are they an independent mover with their own trucks or are the just a broker. Many rogue movers are just move brokers and have no trucks to actually handle your belongings. Typically, they farm out your move to another mover who has little or no accountability for service failures or damage. Arpin of RI has a fleet of trucks and will handle your Warren move in-house, or with one of their partner agencies. They are fully licensed and insured to move shipments across town or across the country.
- Know where your items are being stored. Many rogue movers pretend that they have warehousing facilities and will store your goods wherever they can get the cheapest rate. Take time to actually visit the storage facility to ensure that your items are well protected from damage, pilferage, or contamination. Arpin of RI has a massive warehouse located in West Warwick that is always available for inspection to ensure you have peace of mind when you turn over the possession of your household items to us.
