Am I the only one who had absolutely no idea that "and Providence Plantations" was a part of their official State name?

You are not! Smiley

     I had no clue either.

Same here! Cheesy

same, and I was just there

I'm surprised.  I thought one of the most common "state trivia fun facts" about Rhode Island was that the smallest state has the largest official name.  It's the one that always showed up in my books about the U.S. states when I was little, anyway.
