The first inhabitants of Seekonk were Native Americans from the Wampanoag Tribe. The area now known as Seekonk and Rehoboth provided agricultural and water resources with abundant food supplies. At one time there were three Native American villages in the area now known as Seekonk.
When the colonists settled in Southeastern Massachusetts, the chief of the Wampanoags was known as Massasoit or Ossamequin. In 1653 Ossamequin and his son Wamsetto, signed a deed granting the land that is now Seekonk and the surrounding communities to Thomas Willitt, Myles Standish, and Josiah Winslow.
Three of the earliest English men to settle in the area now known as Seekonk and Providence were William Blackstone, Roger Williams, and Samuel Newman.
In 1812, after the courts settled boundary disputes between Rhode Island and Massachusetsts over the land that is now Rehoboth, East Providence, Pawtucket and Seekonk, the present town of Seekonk was incorporated.
At 4 a.m. on Tuesday, May 1, 2012, a huge fire broke out at the vacant and condemned Attleboro Dye and Finishing Plant in a neighborhood in North Seekonk. There were a large number of explosions during the fire, thought to be from propane and fuel storage tanks housed in the building. There was also a gas leak, causing fire officials to evacuate several homes in the area. The fire was deemed suspicious and thought to be arson.
