Rhode Island
State Flag
RI
The 13th state, admitted 1790
In 1647, the four original towns of Rhode
Island RI- Providence, Warwick, Portsmouth, and Newport, united under one charter and
adopted the anchor as their official seal. Some say the anchor stands for the new
colony. On the white field of the flag this anchor is surrounded by 13 gold stars,
representing the first thirteen colonies.
