He named it &ldquo;<strong>Roodt Eylandt<\/strong>&rdquo; meaning &ldquo;<strong>red island<\/strong>&rdquo; in reference to the red clay that lined the shore. Some historians <strong>believe <\/strong>that the name is derived from the Italian word for &ldquo;<strong>rose<\/strong>&ldquo;, because the island&rsquo;s principal industry at the time was the cultivation of roses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The second event may have been the establishment of a <strong>Christian community<\/strong> on the island by Roger Williams in 1636. The island&rsquo;s name was then adopted as the name of the state. Rhode Island <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Rhode_Island\">is nicknamed &ldquo;Little Rhody&rdquo;<\/a> traditionally. But the state officially adopted the nickname &ldquo;<strong>The Ocean State<\/strong>&rdquo; due to its <strong>400 miles (640km) of coastline<\/strong> and the large bays and inlets that make up about 14% of its total area. The letter <strong>&ldquo;R&rdquo;<\/strong> in Rhode Island&rsquo;s name is a reference to the island&rsquo;s name, which derives from the Dutch word &ldquo;<strong>Roodt<\/strong>&rdquo; meaning &ldquo;<strong>red<\/strong>&ldquo;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It takes its name from the eponymous island, though nearly all of its land area is on the mainland. Despite its name, no county in Rhode Island starts with R. The children&rsquo;s book R is for Rhode Island Red: <strong>A Rhode Island Alphabet<\/strong> illustrates the state&rsquo;s many attractions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-what-makes-rhode-island-so-great\">What makes Rhode Island so great<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-1024x748.jpg\" alt=\"Providence, RI, USA - States that Start with R\" class=\"wp-image-5823\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-1024x748.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-768x561.jpg 768w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-960x701.jpg 960w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-1080x789.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-150x110.jpg 150w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4.jpg 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\"><\/noscript><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"748\" src=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-1024x748.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Providence, RI, USA - States that Start with R\" class=\"wp-image-5823 lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-1024x748.jpg.webp 1024w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-300x219.jpg.webp 300w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-768x561.jpg.webp 768w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-960x701.jpg.webp 960w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-1080x789.jpg.webp 1080w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4-150x110.jpg.webp 150w, https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4.jpg.webp 1095w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 760px) calc(100vw - 40px), 720px\" data-pin-media=\"https:\/\/travelbucketlist.xyz\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/image-3-4.jpg\" id=\"mv-trellis-img-4\" data-trellis-processed=\"1\"><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\"><strong><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)\" class=\"has-inline-color has-black-color\">Providence, RI, USA<\/mark><\/strong><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Rhode Island, the <strong>smallest of the United States<\/strong>, is often overlooked, but this tiny state has a lot to offer.
