Can You Name All These State Capitals?
Can You Guess This Quite Old Capital of Rhode Island?
Richmond; Newport; Providence; Warwick; 3
Rhode Island’s capital is easy to guess for people familiar with the country’s original thirteen colonies. It’s one of America’s oldest cities, founded by Roger Williams in 1636. The Reformed Baptist theologian and religious exile came up with the area’s name to honor God for revealing a “haven” to him and his followers. The capital is considered Rhode Island’s most populous city, with textile and silverware manufacturing as its leading industries. Caffeine junkies and sweet tooths will find the place a haven because it has the most coffee and donut shops per capita of any city in the country.
