     seekonk is a unique toponym, and it sits between two unique toponyms: Rehoboth to the East and Pawtucket to the west.

     Correct. And in the 1860s, there was a border dispute between the two states. Massachusetts received Somerset and Fall River, while Rhode Island got half of Seekonk, which today is named East Providence.

     I was watching Antiques Road Show and a woman brought in an 1857 map of Providence - the Seekonk river runs through it.
