The longest "official" state name in the union. State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
Other than that, is there anything else to think about?
So we all know RI is the smallest state, but what do you think of when you hear "Rhode Island". What do you know about this tiny state?
In addition to some the things that other people mentioned, I think of Luxembourg.
I know that sounds strange but I always thought of Rhode Island as the Luxembourg of the United States. The smallest state in the USA and the smallest member of the EU and NATO (not counting tiny principalities like Monaco or Liechtenstein), they are almost the same size although Rhode Island is slightly bigger.
Besides family guy?!? 🤔 hmm probably "Mister Rogers neighborhood" ...its a beautiful day in da neighborhood a beautiful day in da neighborhood would u be my neighbor
