One of the original thirteen U.S. colonies, founded in the 1600s by those fleeing religious persecution in neighboring Massachusetts. The smallest state in the Union, Rhode Island is home to the important port cities of Providence and Newport. The latter ranks with Palm Beach and New York as a gathering place for upper-class U.S. society.
