City

Providence, Rhode Island, is the capital and most populous city of the U.S. state of Rhode Island. It was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, a religious exile from the Massachusetts Bay Colony. He named the area in honor of "God's merciful Providence" which he believed was responsible for revealing such a haven for him and his followers to settle.

The city is situated at the mouth of the Providence River, at the head of Narragansett Bay. Providence is known for its well-preserved New England architecture and rich history. The city is also home to Brown University, one of the oldest and most prestigious universities in the United States.
