Pawtucket is located in Providence County in northeastern Rhode Island. As of the 2010 census, the population was 71,148. The city of Pawtucket borders Providence, and is just minutes from all the attractions and historical sites of the capital city. Pawtucket is known for being a major contributor of cotton textiles during the American Industrial Revolution. It has the distinction of being home to the first fully mechanized cotton-spinning mill in the United States - the Slater Mill built in 1793. Pawtucket continued to grow into a center for textiles, iron working and other products. The textile business in Rhode Island, along with all of New England, declined during the Great Depression, with many manufacturers closing or moving their facilities to the south where operations and labor was cheaper. However, unlike a lot of other towns, Pawtucket retained its industrial base. Even today, goods produced in the city include lace, textiles, jewelry, silverware and metals. Hasbro, one of the worlds largest manufacturer of toys and games, is headquartered in Pawtucket. The city of Pawtucket is also becoming known as a center for the arts. A 2008 documentary called "Pawtucket Rising" chronicled the influx of artists and cultural activities into the some of the run-down areas of the city. An annual Arts Festival is held in Pawtucket each September, and the city also hosts Riversing, an independently-produced, day-long musical event. Other attractions in Pawtucket include Slater Memorial Park, Daggett Farm and Daggett House, the Water Color Gallery, and Marconi Garden.
