Providence

The flag of Providence, Rhode Island is a dark blue background with the city's seal in the center. 
== Symbolism ==
The description of the figures on the city seal represent the historical story of the founding of the City of Providence in 1636. The Indians are standing on slate rock which is on a point of land covered with forest trees on the west bank of the Seekonk River. The Indians are extending friendly greetings, by raising their arms and crying out "What cheer, netop?" to an approaching canoe which contains the early settlers, Roger Williams and his companions. Roger Williams, the founder of the City of Providence, and the State of Rhode Island, stands in the bow of the canoe and acknowledges the greetings of the friendly Indians by raising his right arm.
== 2004 NAVA survey ==
The flag scored 2.79 / 129th out of 150 on the 2004 NAVA City Flag Survey, behind Scottsdale, and ahead of Oklahoma City.
