History

Providence was first settled in 1636 by religious exile Roger Williams, who named the city after 'God's merciful providence.' Once nicknamed the 'Beehive of Industry' after it found itself in the center of the jewelry and silverware industries, Providence is now becoming better known as the 'Creative Capital,' attracting attention to its burgeoning arts and educational communities. Providence has many diverse cultures that call it home, including many Italian, Portuguese, Central Americans, Asians, and Irish populations. The city also boasts more restaurants per capita than any other city in the United States. In addition to all of the great places to eat, Providence also hosts WaterFire, an environmental art display that is comprised of over 100 bonfires set just above the surfaces of the three rivers that pass through the city. Providence is also home to the Tony Award winning theater group the Trinity Repertory Company, as well as many other performing arts groups.
