About Providence

Providence is the capital and most populous city of the u.s. State of rhode island and is one of the oldest cities in the united states. It was founded in 1636 by roger williams, a reformed baptist theologian and religious exile from the massachusetts bay colony. He named the area in honor of which he believed was responsible for revealing such a haven for him and his followers. The city is situated at the mouth of the providence river at the head of narragansett bay. Providence was one of the first cities in the country to industrialize and became noted for its textile manufacturing and subsequent machine tool, jewelry, and silverware industries. Today, the city of providence is home to eight hospitals and seven institutions of higher learning which have shifted the citys banks through downtown. As of the census of 2000, the population consisted of 173,618 people, 162,389 households, and 35,859 families. The population density was 9,401.7 inhabitants per square mile, characteristic of comparatively older cities in new england such as new haven, connecticut, springfield, massachusetts, and hartford, connecticut. Its population peaked in the 1940s, just prior to the nationwide period of rapid suburbanization.
