This is the Rhode Island state category. Rhode Island's capital city is Providence, and its postal abbreviation is RI. Rhode Island entered the Union as the 13th state, on May 29, 1790. It is the smallest state, with an area of 1,231 square miles. Rhode Island is a New England state which is located in northeastern United States, on the Atlantic coast. The area was first settled in 1636 by Roger Williams and others from Massachusetts who were seeking religious freedom. The colony received a royal charter in 1663. British troops occupied the area during the American Revolution. Nicknamed the Ocean State, Rhode Island is strongly influenced by its proximity to the sea. Much of its land is forested, but there is some dairy farming in the state as well.
