About Providence
Providence is the capital of Rhode Island, a historic port city of colonial streets, universities and Italian restaurants at the head of Narragansett Bay.
Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, who left Massachusetts to establish a place of religious freedom, and it sits at the head of Narragansett Bay. Brown University and the Rhode Island School of Design crowd College Hill, where Benefit Street holds a mile of colonial and Federal houses. The white marble dome of the State House dominates the skyline from its hill.
