| • | Chepachet, Rhode Island is a village and a subdivision of the town of Glocester in northwestern Rhode Island in the USA. The center of town is an intersection of Route 44 (Putnam Pike) and Route 102 (Victory Highway). Chepacet's ZIP Code is 02814.
The area is part of the Foster-Glocester Regional School District, meaning Ponaganset High School (located in neighboring North Scituate, Rhode Island) is the only secondary school for residents of Chepachet. West Glocester Elementary, an elementary school in Chepacet, is part of the Glocester Elementary School District.
In 1842, Chepachet was the setting of the endgame of the Dorr Rebellion, which helped to win voting rights for non-landowners.
Chepachet gained brief national attention in episodes of television's The X-Files as the location of the youth summer home of main character Fox Mulder. In one episode he mentions Chepachet is "20 miles up Route 5." This is only marginally correct, as the local Route 5 passes through Smithfield, Rhode Island, accessible to Chepachet only by crossing Burrillville, Rhode Island. From Providence, Route 44 is the most direct route to Chepachet, and from points north and south, it's Route 102.
