Location Characteristics: The town of North Providence was set off from Providence in 1769, but on three separate occasions sections of it were re-annexed to Providence, with an additional piece of land joined to Pawtucket. North Providence's early history is closely intermingled with Providence and Pawtucket because of these annexations. In 1782 Rochambeau and his troops camped in an area that once belonged to North Providence. North Providence is centrally located in the Providence metropolitan area, and borders on more suburban communities. Major highways provide easy access to North Providence from any point in the state and connects the town to Woonsocket on the north and to Providence on the south. Although North Providence is the smallest town in the state, its size has not impeded it from becoming a bustling suburban community. One of its main thoroughfares, Mineral Spring Avenue, offers a myriad of goods and services. North Providence has experienced a significant rate of residential growth. More than two-thirds of the town's residential civilian labor force are employed in various occupations in other areas throughout the state.
