Woodville is a small village located in the state of Rhode Island, United States. It's a unique place because it's split between two different towns: Richmond and Hopkinton.

Exploring Woodville

Woodville is a quiet community that sits right on the Wood River. This river is a natural feature that flows through the area. The village is located just north of another small community called Wood River Junction, which is also in Richmond.

How Woodville Connects

A main road called Woodville Road helps people get around the village. This road connects Switch Road in Richmond to the center of Hopkinton. In Hopkinton, Woodville Road meets Main Street, which is also known as Rhode Island Route 3. This makes it easy for residents to travel between the two towns that share the village.

Understanding Addresses in Woodville

Because Woodville is in two different towns, its residents use two different mailing addresses!

  • If you live in the part of Woodville that's in Hopkinton, your mailing address uses the zip code "02832" and the town name Hope Valley.
  • If you live in the part of Woodville that's in Richmond, your mailing address uses the zip code "02894" and the town name Wood River Junction.

This can be a bit confusing, but it's how the postal service keeps everything organized for communities that cross town lines.
