Wikipedia description:
Aquidneck Island ( ə-KWID-nek), officially known as Rhode Island, is an island in Narragansett Bay in the state of Rhode Island. The total land area is 37.8 sq mi (98 km2), which makes it the largest island in the bay. The 2020 United States Census reported its population as 60,109. The state of Rhode Island is named after the island; the United States Board on Geographic Names recognizes Rhode Island as the name for the island, although it is widely referred to as Aquidneck Island in the state and by the island's residents, mostly to avoid confusing this island with the state as a whole. Aquidneck Island is home to three towns: from north to south, Portsmouth, Middletown, and Newport.
