Rhode Island, the smallest U.S. state, is also among the most densely populated. The last of the thirteen original colonies, this New England State has been nicknamed “The Ocean State” because bays and inlets account for about 14% of the state’s total area.
Historically, Rhode Island served as an important manufacturing center for costume jewelry, silverware, and textiles; fishing was also important to the Rhode Island economy.
