The river's name comes from the Native American word "segatkank," which means "black goose." Historically, the river was an important resource for the Wampanoag tribe and early European settlers who used it for transportation and food. Today, the river is primarily used for recreation, including fishing, kayaking, and birdwatching. The river's hydrology has been impacted by the construction of the North Attleborough Reservoir and Dam and the Norton Reservoir, which provide drinking water for nearby towns. Additionally, the river is used for agricultural irrigation, with some farmers relying on its water to irrigate their crops.
