East-Providence is located in northeast Rhode Island, adjacent to the capital city of Providence. As of the 2010 census, the population was 47,037. In 1641, the Plymouth Colony purchased a tract of land from the Indians that is now the northern half of East Providence. Four years later, John Brown of Plymouth bought another tract of land from the Indians that included what is today the southern part of East Providence. Preceding the Civil War, what is now East Providence was a quiet farming and fishing area with only a few hundred residents. Over time, however, being situated directly across from the thriving city of Providence also benefited the growth of East Providence. There are many historical buildings, areas and cemeteries located in East Providence, including the very interesting Ring of the Green of Rehoboth, which is today the site of the village of Rumford in East Providence. The city also offers a very nice paved path for walking, hiking and biking. Of course, all of the attractions of nearby Providence are just minutes away, such as the fine restaurants, art galleries, theater and parks. Providence is also home to special events, including WaterFire, an environmental art installation. There are multiple Waterfire events that are accompanied by various pieces of classical and world music, and public art displays, most notably sculptures, which change on a regular basis.
