United States historic place
Smith Hill is a neighborhood in Providence, Rhode Island . Its traditional bounds are the Woonasquatucket River , the Chad Brown public housing complex, Interstate 95 and West River .
The Roger Williams Medical Center (RWMC) is located in the Smith Hill neighborhood and is adjacent to the VA hospital .
The Rhode Island State House is also located on the border with Downtown . The name 'Smith Hill' is therefore used as a metonym for the Rhode Island state government and the Rhode Island General Assembly .[2]
History [ edit ]
Providence neighborhoods with Smith Hill in red
The neighborhood gets its name from settler John Smith , who set up a grist mill here in 1636, after being banished from England.[3]
Prior to the mid-1800s, the area was considered rural escape from downtown, with few homes.[3] [3]
The neighborhood's proximity to the Woonasquatucket and Moshassuck Rivers provided power for the industrial mills.
In the 21st century, Smith Hill is home to about 6,000 people in a densely populated residential neighborhood.[3] [3] [3]
Demographics [ edit ]
The neighborhood is home to whites of European descent and an increasing number of minorities. As of the 1990 census, Smith Hill was 20% Hispanic, 17.2% Asian and 12.2% black. The neighborhood's unemployment and poverty rates are above average for the city, though efforts have been made to revitalize the area, although, without success.
