Rhode Islander

Smallest state's resident

A Rhode Islander is a person from Rhode Island, the smallest U.S. state by area.

The term applies to both natives and current residents: Rhode Islanders are fiercely proud of their state despite its size.

The demonym reflects the state's full name, Rhode Island and Providence Plantations.
