The State of Rhode Island is a state in the New England region of the northeastern United States. It is the smallest state by area. Rhode Island was the first of the thirteen original American colonies to declare independence from British rule, signaling the start of the American Revolution. Rhode Island was also the last of the original thirteen states to ratify the United States Constitution. Rhode Island is nicknamed “Little Rhody,” traditionally but the state officially adopted the nickname “the Ocean State”, as nearly one tenth Rhode Island's inland area is covered by salt water and no resident is more than a thirty-minute drive from the water's edge. Health services are Rhode Islands largest industry. Second is tourism, supporting 39,000 jobs. The third largest industry is manufacturing. Rhode Island's agricultural outputs are nursery stock, vegetables, dairy products, and eggs. |
