Learning About Rhode Island

Rhode Island is well-known for a number of things nationally. Historically, Rhode Island was a member of the thirteen original colonies and was the first to declare independence from the British. (It was also the last of the colonies to ratify the Constitution, becoming the thirteenth state in the U.S.) Rhode Island is also notorious for being the smallest state in terms of land area in the country.

Dubbed “The Ocean State” for its geographical proximity to many large bodies of water to the south and east (including bays, inlets and the Atlantic Ocean), Rhode Island is also bordered by Massachusetts to the north and east, and Connecticut to the west. Despite Rhode Island’s small size, its population density is very large, as the state is second in the nation in the category (due to being the 43rd highest-populated state). A chunk of the state’s population resides in Providence, a lively city of over 175,000 residents which is also the capital of Rhode Island. A high number of gorgeous, oceanfront beaches help make Rhode Island an optimal destination for families looking to relocate to a state of beauty.
