Though the first colony to declare independence from Great Britain, it ironically was the last to ratify the Constitution in 1789. Though it is the smallest state in the Union, its industrial might – at least historically – has given it a lot of power, at least economically. During the American Revolution Rhode Island was the site of several British attacks, and during the Civil War – after Rhode Island had established its name as an industrial powerhouse – did much to fuel the war effort. After the war the state continued to be a major player in American industry, though today it is perhaps less industrial than it was, thanks mainly to the deindustrialization of the United States that has been happening since the mid-1970’s. Today the state’s economy is based primarily on retail, though industry and even fishing and the like still play a vital role in its economy.

As the smallest state in the Union, it naturally has a small population – it currently ranks 44th out of all 50 states in terms of total population. What’s interesting is that most of the state’s population is centered around Providence, which is easily the largest city and metro area in the state; this in turn does help Rhode Island out in terms of auto transport popularity. Carriers are more willing to run routes to Rhode Island, despite the fact that it has so few people, because Providence sits smack along I-95, one of the busiest interstates east of the Appalachian Mountains. Carriers usually don’t like running north of Boston, especially during the winter, so prices may be a bit lower and easier to manage if you were to ship to or from Boston as opposed to Providence, but for a small increase in price carriers will usually make the trek north into Rhode Island instead of stopping at Boston.
