PROVIDENCE A New - Old City

New in Spirit and Vigor-

Old in History and Tradition

Capitol Building, Providence, R. I.

Providence is located at the head of Narragansett Bay, which offers one of the finest ports on the U. S. coastal line, whether on the Atlantic or the Pacific. The Bay not only is suited for shipping, but it furnishes recreational playgrounds for Rhode Islanders and people from all parts of this country and the world. Newport, which is located at the entrance to the Bay, has long been famous as a resort and show place. Narragansett, on the opposite side of the Bay entrance from Newport, also is a well-known summer resort. The fishing industry thrives on many parts of the Bay, which yields an abundant supply of fish and shellfish. Many eating places on the Rhode Island shores of Narragansett Bay are well-known for shore dinners, clambakes and Rhode Island johnny cakes.

Providence was founded in 1636 by Roger Williams, who receiveda deed for the land from the Nar- ragansett Indians. The primeval forests were gradually cleared from the hills, and what is now a thriving city gradually developed during the intervening centuries. The fame and importance of Provi- dence has given it a high place among the nation's cities. The name of Roger Williams will always be perpetuated in Providence because it was herefor thefirst time thata charter proclaimed a doctrine of noninterference in the religious beliefs of the people. This doctrine of religious freedom has had much to do with the spirit and growth of the city. People of many nationalities and of diverse religious faiths live together in tolerance and mutual respect.

The forefathers of many families which still reside in Rhode Island contributed greatly to the original enterprise of the city and state. These early inhabitants established mills, factories, shipping yards, counting houses, and sailing fleets by which means Providence became an important commercial and industrial center of the Thirteen Colonies. Its prestige has been maintained and broadened so that today metropolitan Providence includes some of the largest single industries in the country and is the largest center in the world for certain industrial products.

INTRODUCTION

First Baptist Church

Providence is of interest historically by reason of its fine old houses and public edifices which are fine examples of Colonial architectures. For example, there are the First Baptist Meeting House, built in 1775; the old State House, the old Market Building in Market Square, and private residences too numerous to mention, which principally are located on the hill. It is safe to say that there are morefine and varied examples of residential architecture in Providence than in any other city in the U. S. ; each one a type of the best in architecture covering the periods from the Colonial days to the present.

The population of Rhode Island is the largest per square mile of any state, and yet this is the smallest state in the Union. Providence is considered the world's largest jewelry manufacturing center and one of the nation's largest centers for the distribution of petroleum products. The city is important in the manufacture of machine tools, textile machinery, rubber goods, iron and steel products, silver - ware, and textiles, including silk, rayon, cotton, woolen and worsted products. Situated between New York and Boston, whichfurnish large markets, Providence is in a strategic location for the distribution of goods and services of all kinds. Also, a very considerable foreign trade originates in Providence factories, which send their products to all corners of the world.

According to the U. S. Census of 1950, Providence had 248, 674 inhabitants. It should be borne in mind, however, in regard to the population figure, that the city limits include only 18. 91 square miles, in contrast to the 100 or more square miles of most cities of comparable importance. The State of Rhode Island has nearly 800, 000 (791, 896) people, all of whom are in the immediate trading territory of the city, much of which can be considered a "bed chamber" for those who do business and work in Providence. From a commercial standpoint, the trading area of metropolitan Providence includes not only all of Rhode Island, but southern Massachusetts and eastern Connecticut, with a total population of well over 1,000,000.

In addition to excellent port facilities, including both State and Municipal piers, Providence has rail transportation furnished by the New York, New Haven & Hartford Railroad system, extensive overland truck lines, bus service by the New England Transportation Co., Greyhound Lines and others, and air service in all directions furnished by the American, Eastern, United, and Northeast air lines.

Providence is distinguished for its cultural and educational institutions. Colleges and schools which draw students from all over the world include Brown University, one of the oldest and most distinguished institutions of learning in the U. S. Other colleges are Providence College, founded by the Dominicans; Rhode Island School of Design, Rhode Island College of Education, Pembroke College of Brown Univer - sity, Bryant College, Rhode Island College of Pharmacy, and the University of Rhode Island, at Kings- ton. Other cultural and educational advantages include a concert series by the Boston Symphony Orches- tra; the Rhode Island Philharmonic Orchestra, which presents a regular schedule of concerts; the Com- munity Concert Association, which is the second largest in the country; the Providence Art Club, which sponsors many art exhibits; and the Players, which presents a series of dramatic productions each year.

The excellent library facilities include the Providence Public Library, the John Hay, Carter Brown and Ann Mary Brown libraries at Brown University, the Providence Athenaeum, and the Medical Library of the Rhode Island Medical Association. The museums include a natural history exhibition at Roger Williams Park, and a comprehensive museum display at the Rhode Island School of Design, which houses the famous Pendleton collection of furniture.

INTRODUCTION

The people who work and live in Providence have ample and exceptional opportunities for play and recreation. Rhode Island is a natural playground, with miles of coast line and with beautiful sandy bathing beaches. As mentioned before, the Bay is a great recreational area. The hinterland is beauti- ful rolling country, dotted with many ponds, lakes and streams. Golf courses, tennis courts, yacht clubs and other recreational facilities are scattered throughout the state. Fine roads and short distances make them all accessible.

Roger Williams Park in Providence is a show place, with its beautiful flower gardens, acres of shady fields, and a large body of water. This park maintains a zoo and public tennis courts. In winter, residents and visitors also have recreational advantages and sports. The state has developed an area at Diamond Hill for skiing and other winter sports. There also is ice skating at the East Side Skating Club and on the lakes and ponds. Professional hockey and other winter sports are enjoyed at the Rhode Island Auditorium.

Providence is a city small enough to be thoroughly hospitable and have its people know each other, and at the same time large enough to include the advantages of a great city.

The new and the old blended in the Providence skyline.
