Chepiwanoxet sits atop the western edge of the Rhode Island Formation of the stratified Narragansett Bay Group of the Pennsylvanian period (between 323 and 290 million years ago). The Narragansett Bay Group rocks are part of the Esmond-Dedham subterrane of the Southeastern New England Avalon zone. Uphill from the Post Road (<a href="/wiki/U.S._Route_1_in_Rhode_Island" title="U.S. Route 1 in Rhode Island">US Route 1</a>) is the boundary between the Rhode Island Formation and the older Scituate Igneous Suite (<a href="/wiki/Granite" title="Granite">granite</a> and <a href="/wiki/Diorite" title="Diorite">diorite</a>/<a href="/wiki/Gabbro" title="Gabbro">gabbro</a> rock) of the <a href="/wiki/Devonian" title="Devonian">Devonian</a> period (408 to 362 million years ago), which extends westward to the Connecticut border. </p><p>The real beginning of Chepiwanoxet Island came as a result of the <a href="/wiki/Quaternary_glaciation" title="Quaternary glaciation">last great ice sheets</a>, which bulldozed rock and stone from Canada to Rhode Island. Along the way, each glacier gouged up billions of cubic meters of underlying bedrock, and then ground local and imported rocks together, creating much of the glacial deposits existing today. When the Earth's temperature rose about 10,000 to 12,000 years ago, the glaciers began melting faster than they were moving forward leaving huge deposits of sand and feeding many rivers and streams that rose sea level and washed sand into the coves and bays. For extended periods, the ice advance equaled the rate of melt, and piles of sediment were deposited in <a href="/wiki/Terminal_moraine" title="Terminal moraine">terminal or end moraines</a>, such as on <a href="/wiki/Block_Island" title="Block Island">Block Island</a> and in <a href="/wiki/Charlestown,_Rhode_Island" title="Charlestown, Rhode Island">Charlestown</a> (hills in the southern part of the state).<sup id="cite_ref-6" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-6"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>6<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>The Soil Survey of Rhode Island lists Chepiwanoxet Point and nearby shores as "Hinckley gravelly sandy loam"; a very porous, well-drained soil of glacial origin, which is of poor top<a href="/wiki/Soil_quality" title="Soil quality">soil quality</a>.

The island's tidal flow between Greenwich Cove to the South and Chepiwanoxet Beach to the North kept the small cove open with a navigable channel for small boat use more so at high tide and presumably good shellfishing in low tide. </p><p>Early bay navigation charts (e.g. 1777 Charles Blaskowitz; US Geological Survey 1891 Atlas of Rhode Island; ca. 1895 Narragansett Bay) and city maps (1831 Stevens map of Warwick) clearly show Chepiwanoxet as an island separated by water from the mainland. </p><p>A causeway built by the <a href="/wiki/Gallaudet_Aircraft_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallaudet Aircraft Company">Gallaudet Aircraft Company</a> (1916) allowed truck access to the island for building a seaplane manufacturing factory.<sup id="cite_ref-RI_2-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Arnold Cove today is a silted in marsh with only a narrow, winding channel, exiting North toward Chepiwanoxet Beach that is no longer navigable. The cove is quickly being populated by <i><a href="/wiki/Phragmites" title="Phragmites">Phragmites</a></i> reed grass, an invasive species that can grow over 15' high and quickly crowds out natural habitats. If uncontrolled <i>Phragmites</i> may totally fill the entire cove in several decades. </p><p>The shore along Chepiwanoxet once was one long winding sandy beach continually fed by erosion of the many high hills along the bays West coast. But with development by railroad and home shore erosion protection with rock rip-rap, stone and cement walls that virtually stopped <a href="/wiki/Beach_nourishment" title="Beach nourishment">beach nourishment</a>. Chepiwanoxet's beaches are mostly eroded away leaving rocky shores with sand stripped away by naturally occurring long-shore currents moving South and East north of the island and North and East south of the island. The two currents, along with Arnold Cove's river deposits, helped add sand to create the island along with its two long shallow sandbars heading Northeast and Southeast. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Modern_History">Modern History</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Chepiwanoxet_Point&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Modern History"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <p>The triangular shaped island became a peninsula in the early 20th century when the <a href="/wiki/Gallaudet_Aircraft_Company" class="mw-redirect" title="Gallaudet Aircraft Company">Gallaudet Aircraft Company</a> constructed America's first seaplane-only factory at Chepiwanoxet in 1916. To allow truck access to the factory, the south channel to Greenwich Cove filled in with sandy gravel dumped into the marsh, making a causeway from Alger Avenue that still remains.<sup id="cite_ref-RI_2-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> As a result of blocking water circulation around the island, Arnold Cove lost its small boat access from silt deposits in the tidal marsh located on the North side of the island. With the island made of glacial outwash sand deposits it remains subject to shore erosion. The Gallaudet Company built wood bulkheads around the North, East and South shores with rock rip-rap on the waterside and fill behind. With many factory workers living north of the old cove, a narrow wood plank bridge was built across the marsh to allow quicker access to/from work. </p><p>During the Gallaudet Factory period, the <a href="/wiki/Bostitch" title="Bostitch">Bostitch Corporation</a>, located in East Greenwich, was allowed to dump hundreds of truckloads of waste metal staples along the east facing shore behind the wood bulkhead to control erosion from the 1930s to the early 1950s.<sup id="cite_ref-RI_2-3" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> The staples rusted in large heaps that gradually were eroded/dissolved by the salt water. In the early 2000s after becoming a city park, Warwick had most of the remaining rust piles removed, but beach walkers can still discover small rust pieces lying about which locals jokingly call "Bostaplite" rock. A few wood piles remain widely scattered along the shore showing how much sand has eroded particularly in the north-east corner popular with fishermen. </p><p>The factory built seaplanes, including the <a href="/wiki/Gallaudet_D-4" title="Gallaudet D-4">Gallaudet 'Battlecruiser' D series</a> for the U.S. Navy during World War I.<sup id="cite_ref-RI_2-4" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-ProJo_4-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-ProJo-4"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>4<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Following the war in 1923, the corporation was sold and became part of Consolidated Aircraft Company, leaving its factory empty and virtually unused through World War II into the mid-1940s.<sup id="cite_ref-RI_2-5" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-RI-2"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>2<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Currently all the factory buildings have been demolished, but two cement floors remain with the larger floor of the metal boiler plant and the smaller floor, a bit to the Northwest, was the brick kiln for drying wood for the seaplanes.
