Potowomut is an isolated neighborhood and a peninsula in Warwick, Rhode Island. It was originally a village in the Warwick Township of Kent County. It can be called an enclave, since there is no overland connection to the rest of the city of Warwick. Nathanael Greene (an American general) was born here in 1742.
Rhode (pronounced "Road") Island is part of the New England region, and was one of the thirteen original American colonies that declared independence against British rule to begin the American Revolution.
RhodeIsland is bordered on the north and east by Massachusetts, on the west by Connecticut, and on the south by RhodeIsland Sound and the Atlantic Ocean.
RhodeIsland was one of the Northern colonies (aka "New England" colonies).
RhodeIsland, in full, State of RhodeIsland and Providence Plantations, one of the New England states of the United States, bordered on the north and east by Massachusetts; on the south by RhodeIsland Sound and Block Island Sound (arms of the Atlantic Ocean); and on the west by Connecticut.
RhodeIsland entered the Union on May 29, 1790, as the last of the 13 original states (although it had been the first to declare independence in 1776).
The landscape of RhodeIsland can be divided into two major regions: the Seaboard Lowland, which includes the Atlantic coast area and the Narragansett Lowland or Basin, and the Eastern New England Upland, in the west.
