Providence's name later became "Providence Plantations" when it was combined with the surrounding lands. However, in 2020, a referendum led to the official shortening of the state's name to simply "Rhode Island" to remove the reference to "Plantations," which was associated with slavery and racial injustice. Today, the state is officially known as "Rhode Island."
