The Rhode Island Colony was formed through the merging of settlements established by Roger Williams and Anne Hutchinson. Roger Williams founded Providence in 1636 after being banished from Massachusetts for his beliefs in religious freedom and separation of church and state. Anne Hutchinson, also a dissenter from Puritan orthodoxy, established Portsmouth in 1638. Their settlements eventually united to form the Rhode Island Colony, known for its commitment to religious tolerance.
