One of the first cities founded in the United States, the history of Providence embodies many of the fundamental principles inherent in America. Roger Williams founded Providence as a haven for religious dissidents escaping Massachusetts Bay—a colony itself created to avoid religious persecution in England.

Providence grew from an agricultural center to an industrial powerhouse. Today it has reinvented itself a technological and financial center for southern New England.
