Providence was a short-lived silver mining town located in San Bernardino County, California, United States.

Parties of prospectors from Ivanpah found rich silver ore along the steep slopes of the Providence Mountains in the spring of 1880.

The richest property turned out to be the Bonanza King, which was soon sold to a pair of sharps—Wilson Waddingham and Thomas Ewing—who had just bilked investors in a mining-stock scheme in Colorado.

A 5-stamp mill was built at the nearby Perseverance Mine in 1886, but the price of silver continued to slip, and the post office closed in 1892.

And during World War I, an Eastern company rebuilt the mill, put up a camp supplied with electricity and running water, and reopened the mine.
