Since
its founding in 1636 by a dissident preacher named
Roger Williams, Providence has been a bastion of religious
and political freedom. The troop traveled south and
eventually settled at the head of Narragansett Bay.
Delighted to have discovered such a treasure, they
named their new bayside home "in commemoration
of God's Merciful Providence."
Today,
Providence is the focal point for financial services,
software and telecommunications, the creative arts,
medical technology, electronics, retail, law, sports,
tourism, culture and government. As has been recounted
by national media outlets including the New York Times
and USA Today, Rhode Island's capital city is bustling
with lively theaters, compelling museums, galleries,
antique shops, and bookstores. Not only that, each
week, the popular NBC television show "Providence" portrays
the city in soft and glowing tones.
