State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations

Five counties make up the State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations: Bristol County, Kent County, Newport County, Providence County and Washington County.  Parts of Washington County are referred to as 'South County' and there is even a South County Hospital.  However, there is no official subdivision of Rhode Island called South County.  Perhaps when the area known as Kings County was renamed for George Washington, the name was rejected by local inhabitants. 

The county pages contain links to the 39 cities and towns of Rhode Island. Each geographic division of city or town may also contain multiple villages.
