Fox Point, Providence, Rhode Island
Fox Point is a neighborhood in the East Side of Providence, Rhode Island. It is bounded by the Providence and Seekonk rivers, Interstate 195 and the College Hill and Wayland neighborhoods. Fox Point is the southernmost neighborhood in the East Side area of Providence.
Fox Point retains much of its historical character, with housing stock dating from the 18th and 19th centuries in much of the neighborhood. Vernacular interpretations of the Federal, Greek revival, and Italianate architectural styles are well represented West of Governor Street, while somewhat more recent construction dominates on Ives and Gano Streets.
==History==

Originally used for farmland, Fox Point's economy quickly changed to maritime affairs with the construction of Providence's first port at India Point in 1680, becoming a major trading point in the Atlantic Triangular trade of slaves, sugar cane and rum between New England, the West Indies, and West Africa.
The neighborhood derives its name from Tockwotten Hill, which was largely leveled (along with slum residences) as part of a public works project in the 19th century. The fill was used to reclaim part of the Seekonk River now consisting of Gano Street and land to the east of Gano Street. Once the area's street grid had been laid, Fox Point developed as a residential neighborhood.
However, with the completion of the Boston and Providence Rail Road, and regular steamship connections to ports along the East Coast, Fox Point became an attractive location for industry. New industry attracted many immigrants, first Irish, though by the second half of the 19th century the neighborhood was home to increasing numbers of Portuguese and Cape Verdeans. Many Portuguese-American institutions remain in Fox Point, though the Portuguese community is much smaller than it once was.
The proximity of Brown University has led to a combination of student housing and gentrification in the neighborhood that has displaced many of the long-term residents.
