The island was named Rhode Island by Roger Williams, who was one of the first English settlers in the area. Williams named the island after the Greek island of Rhodes, which he admired for its religious tolerance.
Newport has been a regular summer trip since the early 70’s! It can not be beat as a wonderful destination! And the food…fantastic!! We found THE best accommodation with fabulous views…it will remain our secret tho”😊
Hello 👋🏻 I’m planning to move there in few months, my daughter is almost 10 years old and I have a small dog, which would be the best area to look a place to live please ? Not expensive, good school and safe? 🤷🏻♀️🫶🏼 thanks !
@@alewolf7 Portsmouth and Middletown are both in Newport County, try those Towns first before trying to find something in Newport, Middletown has better schools.
“Tems” street?????? That’s British pronunciation. We say, “Thames”. Like names with a T. I aways tell tourists that’s how it’s pronounced on this side of the pond.
@@jri1678 Sure thing, boss. A geographical error on my part still doesn't make that city in said, corrected state, any lower in jewish population.... and does not make the historical figure Aron Lopez disappear from time.
I was born in RI but left at age 19, so let me school you. The history of our nation reflects in the issues of RI. It is not odd just the way it was 200 plus years ago.
Too much military and Scientology here. Corrupt police, Oracle and Leno pay them off. Getting worse. Good history, nice seaside town but overrun with bad elements now.
@@SKing1691 I live here. Never seen any scientology, the Navy being here is great and the police are excellent. And Leno and Osborne (not Oracle (shows what this guy knows) pay off no one and are a big plus to the town. We, like everyone, have a few local types but we aren't overrun by any means.

Thames St is pronounced (thaims) not (tems).
And the car museum is pronounced (au drain).
And the island that Newport is on is pronounced (a quid nik)
New-pawt is in the state of Row-die-lin ;)
Born and raised here, never heard the term "Newportonian" ever!

I think the gut that wrote this is from Arkansas.
Probably has never been to Newport
Thanks for the feature!
You're very much welcome! Be safe and have a great day ahead ♥
At 3:39, that should be Rough Point, not Rogue.
I think the writer is from Arkansas. Probably couldn’t point Newport on a map
Wish you could pronounce THAMES St properly and AudRAIN.
“Tems” street??????
That’s British pronunciation.
We say, “Thames”.
Like names with a T.

I may move to Newport
