Business Beginning.

The first business organized for other
than local purposes was ship or vessel
building. quite extensively carried on at
the mouth OF the Moshassuck.
This. naturally. led To an increase In
commerce, at first with Newport and
other American ports. and finally with
the West Indies and the African coast.
AZ tho closs OF the Revolutionary war
the commerce OF Newport was ruined.
and Providence. having the ships and the
sailors. took the lead and for more than
~ years her commerce prospered and In.
creased.
The prominent business men of that
period were the Browns, the 1veses, the
Arnolds. the Hoppins, Cyrus Butler.
Richmond Bullock. Edward Darlington
and Others. all engaged in commerce
The record OF Providence during the
Revolutionary period was preeminently
patriotic. The state had long suffered In
her commerce from parliamentary taxes
and restraints. and was, therefore, the
more sensitive 20 any new encroachment.
The Stamp act was a dead letter. no
governor would swear 90 support ~. no
oflcer dared administer Il and the general
assembly nulifed Il.

The Coming of Williams.

n was I'm the latter part of the spring
or in the beginning OF the summer OF
1886 however, that Williams and his nVe
faithful followers, landed for the hrst
time with intent TO commence settle
ment within the limits OF Providence. His
torians say IL is impossible to fix the ex-
act date of this event That IL was after
planting time may be inferred from a re-
mark in letter OF his In which ne says
his removal occasioned him the loss OF
q harvest that year"
In finally deciding upon landing VIII
Hams and his companions found the west
shore of the Seekonk and coasted down TO
a ledge of slate rock which projected from
under n b1ufr into deep water presenting
1ust above the level OF the highest tides
a large fiat surface. This was the Roger
Williams" or SLATE" rock at the present
time. far back from the water and many
feet below the artificial surface OF the
ground.
A small group OF Indians was gathered
on this rock, and hailed, What Cheer,
Netop," the first salutation ever heard
by white man from the shore OF Provi-
dence.
Brineing their canoe alongside OF the
rock. they entered into communication
with the friendly natives, but
soon departed thence and continued
down the river. Passing under the
steep biuff OF Tockwotten hill, they
rounded the southeastern point ano
reached the open water of Narragansett
bay.
Here the shore stretched to the west
ward and was formed by the southern
slope of Tockwotten hill. till II reached a
series Of smaller hills. this series termln-
ating In Fox hill near Fox point
Rounding the Fox Hill point they en-
tered what they called, THE Great Salt
River" afterwards known as Providence
river, and followed it's eastern shore In
q northerly direction.
Just north OF Fox Hill they found

main hill on the eastern side, which rs
now called Prospect Iiill, Offering boat

In those far of days the spot where
the Arcade now stands was an Island.

his majesty's armed revenue schooner

while chasing a sloop belonging to John
Brown. an eminent merchant of this city.
More than a century ago the history
OF the manufacture OF cloth began, when
Samuel Slater set his first 70 spindles into
successful operation at Pawtucket. and

First Settlers.

Such was Providence in embryo, when
Roger Williams gazed upon IL on that
summers day 266 years ago. His five
companions were William Harris. John
Smith, Joshua Verin. Thomas Angel and
Francis Wickes. In a short time this
small company was increased by access
sions from the Plymouth and Massachu-
setts colonies.
Among the earlier acts OF williams and
his followers was the laying out of the
form of their settlement which finally de-
veloped into the following plan.
Starting from a point TO the eastward
OF the spring, at the foot OF the hill, and
following the line OF the shore. a road
was laid out to the northern shore of Mile
End cove. From near the spring TO It's
southern extremity this road was wash
ed, on its western side, by the waters Of
the great salt river. From the spring the
road was continued northerly along the
foot or the hill till IL reached compare
lively easy ascent by the side of a ravine.
by means of which II partially assembled
the hill and thence continued northward
to point now known as Olney street.
This was the town street and Its gem
eral course was the same as the north
and South Main streets OF today In after
years as the settlers pushed their clear
ings further north on the line OF the In
dian trail to Pawtucket Falls. this street
was continued In that direction.
To the eastward OF the swamps In the
valley of a brook running into Mile End
cove. another road, known as the high
way, was laid out in course generally
parallel with this town street. This, In
after years, was known as the Ferry road
though II never led to a ferry and is
nearly Identical with the present Hope
street.
AT the north and south ends these two
roads were connected by transverse ways,
nearly corresponding TO Olney and Wick
enden streets OF today. There were also
two transverse highways where Meeting
street and Power street now respectively
run.
