A petition was submitted in October 1740, to Governor Richard Ward, requesting that the area that was to become West Greenwich, be set aside as a separate town. West Greenwich then separated from East Greenwich on April 6, 1741, making it officially its own town, only because of the efforts of freemen of this area. This divided West Greenwich, around 35,000 acres of land, from the empty land in the Narragansett country tract and ran to 13 residents of East Greenwich and Warwick.
West Greenwich was named for Greenwich, Kent, England.
The town hall is 102 feet long and it sits 102 feet from Route 102.
