-------------------- RI History:

Island on which Newport located also called RI, both state & island might be named in honor of Greek Island of Rhodes, possibly because shape of island. No confirmation of this. Island on which Newport is located also known as Aquidneck. Island was 1st to be populated by those who left MA Bay Colony because of religious differences. Providence, founded in 1636 as settlement by Eng clergyman Roger Williams, aft he was banished by MA Great & Genl Crt. Williams selected name in gratitude for "God's merciful providence" that Narragansett have granted him title to site. Anne Hutchinson exiled from MA Bay Colony in 1638 & brought more settlers attracted to colony by promise of religious freedom to est Pocasset, now Portsmouth. Wm Coddington & others founded Newport in 1639. In 1643 Saml Gorton founded Shawomet, now Warwick. RI & Providence Plantations also gave protection to Quakers in 1657 & Jews from Holland in 1658. In 1776 RI became 1 of 13 Colonies to renounce allegiance to Grt Britain. Aft Am Rev, shipping declined, but Saml Slater built 1st successful US cotton-textile mill at falls of Blackstone Riv, later called Pawtucket, by Saml Slater & ironmaster David Wilkinson (1790). Abundance of water power led to rapid development of mfg. RI's political & economic life dominated by mill-owners until well into 20th Cent, when competition from South resulted in continuing decline in state's textile industry. Recent growth of new industries such as electronics helped to revitalize economy. Block Island is off southern RI at eastern entrance to Long Island Sound. Named for Dutch explorer Adriaen Block who visited island in 1614. He returned to Amsterdam in Oct after exploring New Eng coast, sailing up CT Riv, & mapping coast of Manhattan. Block Island was 1st settled in 1661. It became pt of RI in 1663 under Charter. In 1786 RI farmers burned grain, dumped milk, & left apples to rot in orchards in farm strike directed against Providence & Newport merchants who refused to accept paper money that depreciated to pt of being virtually worthless. Strike had little effect, since 90% of Am raised own food in gardens & let hogs forage in woods for acorns.
