RHODE ISLAND STATE GUIDE
 The smallest of the United States is also one of the most panoramic and diverse regions in the nation, born out of a desire for religious freedom and tolerance. It was Roger Williams who founded Providence in 1636, after he was banished from Massachusetts for expressing his beliefs. Through the centuries, Rhode Island has matured into a land as diverse and appealing as the dynamic people who call it home. Little wonder that Money magazine consistently ranks Providence as the best city in the East in which to live. RIslandinfo.com is the top Rhode Island State Guide.
Newcomers to Rhode Island will find a pleasing diversity of communities as well as choices in lifestyle, from downtown Providence to suburban neighborhoods or picturesque waterfront villages. Historic districts abound, preserving architecture from quaint to magnificent dating back hundreds of years. The “island” of Newport County is a showcase of fabled mansions, the stunning, elaborate “summer cottages” of America’s Gilded Age. Benefit Street’s Mile of History in Providence boasts the most impressive concentration of original colonial homes in America, a place where beautifully restored houses, churches and museums overlook the city’s historic and scenic waterfront.
