The village was named after the Limestone Quarry in the area, which started in the 1600s and was the only major quarry in the area up to the present where Conklin Limestone Company now operates. Because of the abundance of limestone in the area many houses had massive end chimneys and were called "stone enders," a distinctly Rhode Island style of architecture. The historic district was created in 1874 in an irregular pattern along Smith, Wilbur, and Great Rds., and Old Louisquisset Pike with 2480 acres, 21 buildings, and 3 structures.
