Photo shows Fountain Square, Pascoag, R.I. Pascoag is part of Burriville R.I. The name of Burrillville's principal village, Pascoag, named after the stream upon which it is located, probably derives from an Algonquian Indian root. Pascoag can trace its origins back to the first half of the 18th century, when a saw mill and other businesses were built in what is now the village center. In the 19th century, Pascoag became a textile manufacturing town, an industry that continued until after World War II. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pascoag,_Rhode_Island&oldid=1115739787.
