The State of Rhode Island
and Providence Plantations (commonly known as Rhode Island) is geographically
the smallest state in the United States, and the state with the longest
official name. Rhode (pronounced "Road") Island is part
of the New England region, and was one of the thirteen original American
colonies that declared independence against British rule to begin
the American Revolution.
The state's common name, Rhode Island, actually refers to the largest
island in Narragansett Bay, also known as Aquidneck Island, on which
the city of Newport is located. The origin of the name is unclear.
Some historians think that Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano,
upon discovering Block Island, just southwest in the Atlantic Ocean,
named it Rhode Island because of its similarity in shape to the
Greek island of Rhodes. Later settlers, mistaking which island Verrazzano
was referring to, gave the name to Aquidneck Island instead. Other
historians believe that the name is derived from Roodt Eylandt,
Dutch for "red island," given to the island by Dutch explorer
Adriaen Block due to the red clay on the island's shore.
Despite the fact that most of the state is part of the mainland,
the name Rhode Island leads some out-of-staters to erroneously believe
that the entire state is an island. Nicknamed "The Ocean State,"
every point in the state is within 30 miles of sea water.
