The city of Providence, Rhode Island has 25 official neighborhoods.




Regions


Many of these neighborhoods are often grouped together referred to collectively:

East Side – Blackstone, Hope, Mount Hope, College Hill, Wayland, and Fox Point.
North End – Charles, Wanskuck, Smith Hill, Elmhurst, and Mount Pleasant.
South Side or South Providence – Elmwood, Lower South Providence, Upper South Providence, West End, and Washington Park.

The Jewelry District occupies the southern portion of Downtown Providence. Since the area was re-united with Downtown following the relocation of Interstate 195, the city has been working to attract high-tech and research companies to this area under the rebranded name of "Knowledge District." This area is not recognized as one of Providence's 25 official neighborhoods. The Hospital District, a non-residential area within Upper South Providence is similarly unrecognized.

The oldest, highest density neighborhoods are either those close to Downtown or proximate to the Woonasquatucket River, which provided a power source for early industrialization in Manton, Hartford, and Olneyville. More distant neighborhoods developed later, mostly as transportation as public horse car and streetcar lines were added.
