When
most people think about Rhode Island, they think of the smallest state
of the Union. The fact is, Rhode Island may be small, but it has a lot
to offer. With a reputation of being a progressive yet cultural,
eclectic or traditional, you can find it all. Having such a long coastline
helps Rhode Island bring a quality of life that makes Rhode Islanders
proud to be living in 'The Ocean State'. After work is done their
thoughts turn to long stretches of sandy beaches, clear ocean waters,
cool breezes and bright sunshine. Providence Rhode Island is the capital and largest city in the great State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations (also the longest name for the smallest state in the Union!) Newport Rhode Island, while much smaller than Providence, holds a dear place in our hearts, with the 19th Century Guilded Age mansions, sailing, museums, colonial churches, and the oldest synagogue in the United States.

Rhode Island is the smallest of the 50 states and except for New Jersey the most densely populated. The dominant physiographic feature of the state is the Narragansett basin, a shallow lowland area of Carboniferous sediments, extending into SE Massachusetts and, in Rhode Island, partly submerged as Narragansett Bay . The bay cuts inland c.30 mi (50 km) to Providence, where it receives the Blackstone River; it contains several islands, including Rhode Island (or Aquidneck), the largest (and the site of historic Newport); Conanicut Island, with the resort of Jamestown ; and Prudence Island.
Although more than half of Rhode Island is covered with forests, it is highly urbanized. Providence is the capital and the largest city; other important cities are Warwick, Cranston, Pawtucket, and Newport .
Rhode Island's coast is lined with resorts noted for their swimming and boating facilities, and windswept Block Island is a favorite vacation spot. Narragansett Bay is famous for its sailboats and yachts. The America's Cup yacht race has been held in Newport several times, beginning in 1930 and most recently in 1983. The state also has many historic attractions.
Rhode Island's traditional manufacturing economy has diversified and is now also based on services, trade (retail and wholesale), and finance. In spite of this, many of the products for which Rhode Island is famous are still being manufactured. These include jewelry, silverware, textiles, primary and fabricated metals, machinery, electrical equipment, and rubber and plastic items. Tourism is also important.
