East Providence: Riverside City Across the Seekonk
East Providence sits on the east bank of the Seekonk River, directly across from downtown Providence. Until 1862 the territory was part of Rehoboth, Massachusetts. A Supreme Court decision that year transferred it to Rhode Island as part of a long-running border adjustment between the two states. The city was incorporated as a town at that point and became a city in 1958.
The waterfront along the Seekonk and Providence rivers supports marinas, restaurants, and the East Bay Bike Path, a 14.5-mile paved trail that runs from the India Point Park bridge crossing southward through Riverside, Barrington, Warren, and into Bristol. The path follows the former Providence and Bristol Railroad right of way. Pomham Rocks Lighthouse, an 1871 Second Empire structure on a small rock in the Providence River, remains visible from the shoreline and operates as a private aid to navigation after a nonprofit restoration.
The Crescent Park Looff Carousel, built in 1895 by Charles I.D. Looff in Riverside, is preserved as a National Historic Landmark. It is one of the oldest intact wooden carousels in the United States and still operates seasonally. With a population near 47,000, East Providence functions as a residential and commercial gateway between Providence and the East Bay communities of Barrington, Warren, and Bristol.
