Rhode Island was founded by English settlers in 1639 and is the smallest state in the United States and is one of the six states that make up New England.
Before August 24, 1743, Middletown Rhode Island was part of Newport but eventually the States General Assembly permitted Middleton to break off from Newport to become its political entity.
Although the state is small, there is much to do. While visiting, you can take long walks on the beaches with your dog, learn to sail the coastal waters, look up at the ceilings of mega mansions as if your stargazing into outer space, visit Fort Adams, bring your RV to a campground on the beach, walk the cliff walk, spend your nights out partying on the beaches, stroll the boardwalks and piers, and lastly shop until you realize you have no more money.
