Rhode Island (/ËroÊd ËaÉªlÉnd/), officially the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. Rhode Island is the smallest in area, the eighth least populous, and the second most densely populated of the 50 U.S. states, following New Jersey.
We're not talking about Alaska, or Texas, or any of the BIG states. We're talking about the smallest state in the Union. And what state is that? It's Rhode Island, of course! Rhode Island isn't an island, but it does contain a lot of islands. Rhode Island is known as The Ocean State, and some of its most famous areas can be found on its many islands. In fact, nowhere in the state lies more than 30 miles from salt water!
