Providence is Rhode Island's capital and home to Brown University and RISD on College Hill. It is known for WaterFire on its three downtown rivers, Federal Hill's Italian food scene on Atwells Avenue, and a large stock of historic homes.
Roger Williams founded Providence in 1636 after being banished by the English, around a freshwater spring now preserved as Roger Williams National Memorial. The Rhode Island State House, designed by McKim, Mead & White, was built between 1895 and 1904. The city created the Providence Historic District Commission in 1960 to protect its historic neighborhoods. Students, state workers, hospital staff, artists, and longtime families share a compact, walkable city. Daily life mixes East Side historic streets, a busy downtown arts scene, and strong immigrant business districts on the South and West Sides.
