Text on Rhode Island, The Ocean State Coffee Mug:
Rhode Island, state in the northeastern United States, in New England, officially the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. On May 4, 1776, Rhode Island became the first of the 13 original colonies to declare its independence from Great Britain. However, it was the last of the 13 colonies to ratify the Constitution of the United States, doing so on May 29, 1790. I is the smallest state in the Union.

The name Rhode Island is the official name of the largest island of Narragansett Bay. Providence is Rhode Island’s capital and its largest city. Rhode Island’s official nickname is the Ocean State. The state’s small size led to the emergence of what is now its most common, although unofficial, nickname, Little Rhody.
