Pawcatuck follows the Pawcatuck River along Connecticut’s border with Rhode Island, a position that has long linked the community to downtown Westerly on the opposite bank. The river flows south toward Little Narragansett Bay, placing this corner of Stonington between inland waterways and the Atlantic-facing coast. Its waterpower supported 19th-century mills, part of the industrial history shared with Westerly. The nearby Westerly station on the Northeast Corridor connects the area with larger cities along the US East Coast.
