Bristol Rhode Island A Town Steeped In History And Industry
Bristol Rhode Island blends colonial heritage with an active industrial present. The harbor town hosts a famed Fourth of July parade, houses shipyards and pioneers in rubber plants, lace, and upholstery, and maintains the Coast Guard station and Veterans Home. The Mount Hope region, Mount Hope Bridge, and local founders tie the town to Plymouth Colony and early American history.
