FACTS ABOUT RHODE ISLAND
A GREAT TEAM BUILDING LOCATION

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. This state was named by Dutch explorer Adrian Block. He named it “Roodt Eylandt” meaning “red island” in reference to the red clay that lined the shore. The name was later anglicized when the region came under British rule. 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.

Interesting Rhode Island facts:

The state was home to the first open golf tournament. The event occurred in 1895.
The first circus in the United States was in Newport in 1774.
It covers an area of 1,214 square miles. Its distances North to South are 48 miles and East to West 37 miles.
Rhode Island was the last of the original thirteen colonies to become a state.
