BONUS: The Rise of Providence | The Making of an Industrial Powerhouse
About this episode
This episode explores the transformation of Providence from a small settlement to a major industrial center in America.
When founded in 1636, Providence was little more than a tiny settlement of religious outcasts fighting for survival. But by the late 19th century, it had managed to become one of America’s leading industrial centers. In this episode of The Story of Rhode Island I'll tell you about how Providence went from being an overlooked settlement to an industrial powerhouse. www.storyofrhodeisland.com *For an ideal viewing experience, I recommend watching this episode on The Story of Rhode Island YouTube channel.
