    Time to teach a fun fact!

    Up until 2020, the official name of Rhode Island was State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

    Providence and surrounding towns on the mainland were the “Providence Plantations”, and Newport and Portsmouth, on the island also known as Aquidneck Island, were the Rhode Island part of the equation.
