Travel information for Rhode
Island
The state's common name,
Rhode Island,
actually refers to the largest island in Narragansett Bay, also
known as Aquidneck Island, on which the city of Newport is
located. The origin of the name is unclear. Some historians
think that Italian explorer Giovanni da Verrazzano, upon
discovering Block Island, just southwest in the Atlantic Ocean,
named it Rhode Island because of its similarity in shape to the
Greek island of Rhodes. Later settlers, mistaking which island
Verrazzano was referring to, gave the name to Aquidneck Island
instead. Other historians believe that the name is derived from
Roodt Eylandt, Dutch for "red island," given to the island by
Dutch explorer Adriaen Block due to the red clay on the island's
shore.
Eisenhower House is the perfect
setting for weddings, family gatherings, and corporate
functions. This stately mansion, built in 1873, commands
breathtaking views of Newport Harbor and Narragansett Bay. Once
the summer White House of President Dwight D. Eisenhower, this
beautiful property is owned by the State of
Rhode Island.
