Area Churches Thanks to the Blackstone River and other water power sources, Uxbridge evolved from a diverse economy of industrial development with iron forging hammering and textiles, along with hard working farms, saw and grist mills and even, a gin distillery from the eighteenth century on. Incorporated in 1727, Uxbridge was home to a diverse group: the Nipmuc Indians, Quakers from nearby Rhode Island as well as Christian Indian converts. Thus, Uxbridge is filled with powerful histories reflected in the granite Crown and Eagle Mills, the Capron Mills, along with the 1770 Quaker meeting House all still remaining today.
