Lincoln Woods State Park is a state park surrounding Olney Pond in the town of Lincoln, Rhode Island, northwest of Pawtucket.〔 The park is known for its many giant glacial boulders and the stony nature of its terrain which prevented most of the parkland from being used as farmland or for other development. ==History== Named in honor of President Abraham Lincoln, the park traces its origins to the state's purchase of Quinsnicket Pond and 71 additional acres in 1908. It had its official founding on the 100th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth, February 12, 1909.〔 Until the 1940s, the park was popularly known as Quinsnicket, a faux Indian name commonly said to mean something like The Domain of Many Rocks. Quinsnicket was actually a name invented by white settlers, and the original Indian name for the area was Caucaunjaivatchuck.〔
