OLNEYVILLE SQUARE
The story of the Olneyville Square Neighborhood Market is evolving…just as the business district has done since its founding as a commercial area in 1785 when Christopher Olney opened grist and paper mills on what is now called Olney's Pond.
Today, the Olneyville neighborhood is undergoing a major transition...where restored mills and tenements create new housing and where arts, cultural, human service, education, and greenway association are collaborating with city agencies to inspire a new generation of residents and businesses…And all are working together with a vision toward a new Olneyville….
Adjacent to the nationally recognized Woonasquatucket River Greenway, Olneyville Square is a bustling throughway leading to seven Providence neighborhoods. With a combination of restored and traditional architecture, it is a truly walkable business district… where local merchants, many of whom operate family owned ventures, will greet you with a smile and a warm hello…Good morning! Hola!, Kali Mera!
Olneyville establishments provide a range of service specialities…banking, hardware, groceries, hair salon, gift and party items, clothing, car wash and bakery…with nearby library, church and senior apartments…adding resident vitality to the commercial district..
Is it time for lunch or dinner? Olneyville Square is a family and business spot by day and a favorite for the young and adventurous crowd by night! Known statewide as a destination for famous ribs and hot weiners, you can also enjoy chicken and biscuits, Mexican and El Salvadorean menus at our nearby restaurants, pubs, diners and cafés.
The Olneyville Neighborhood Market area is changing every day! Watch this website for more news!
