"Rhode Island and Providence Plantations".

Welcome aboard!

Gaggers? What about the chowdah, the stuffies, clam cakes and the johnny cakes?? The folks at Kenyon's grist mill will be PO'ed that you left out the clam cakes and the johnny cakes....just saying. And don't get me started on the freaking soupy in Westerly...

In CT we say that Rhode Island is just another town in our state ;)

Welcome.

Forgive me... In my head, "State of..." went without saying, but apparently not.

The longest official name of a state capitol is, "The City of Jefferson", in Missouri.

Fair point Otto, but, 'The City of..." got Jefferson across the finish line! Cheers
