Providence Rhode Island (RI) Real Estate Tour
Tour Providence, RI neighborhoods, condominium developments, subdivisions, schools, landmarks, recreational areas, and town offices.
Providence, Rhode Island is the second fastest-growing city in the Northeast, and the second largest city in New England. Now a bustling center for industry, the arts, and higher education, Providence boasts an illustrious history spanning more than three centuries.
In 1636, a religious exile from the Plymouth colony named Roger Williams arrived at Narragansett Bay. Williams quickly established relations with the local Narragansett Indians and secured a title in short order; the tracts of land he was accorded over the next several years made up the original Providence colony. Opportunities for agriculture and early industry were limited due to the area's rocky terrain, and Providence suffered an additional setback when the downtown was destroyed during King Philip's War.
The colony's tradition of independent-mindedness made Providence a hotbet of revolutionary fervor, however, and the notorious Gaspee affair of 1772, during which Providence merchants and sailors burnt the customs sloop Gaspee, was arguably the act that kickstarted the American Revolution.
Over the course of the 19th century, Providence emerged as an industrial hub of the northeast, its bustling economy centered on the manufacture of machinery, silverware, jewelry and textiles. Though the decline of the textile industry set into motion a recession beginning in the 1920's, Providence entered a period of economic and cultural renewal in the 1970s.
The city government opened several new parks and recreational areas, and the construction of the Providence Place Mall in 1999 provided opportunities for newfound growth and economic prosperity. A generation of renewal and reconstruction has placed Providence at the forefront of American cities. Providence has joined the select list of magnet cities that draw investment, talent and culture from distant points. Today, the city skyline is undergoing constant change and property values are on the rise.For other town tours visit . For towns in RI visit . For RI relocation information go to .
