Common name or official name?

Official name would be Rhode Island (The State of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations).

It's also geographically longer than south carolina.

Couple other states have one less letter... like Pennsylvania and West Virginia

I thought the official name was "West by God Virginia". Maybe some commas, maybe not.

That's the highest state. (well maybe not! CA probably has that distinction.)

CA is the tallest, and Ohio is the fattest!

If DC was included in the list of states (which it is not), then "District of Columbia" would be the longest name. Even though it is not a state, it is commonly found in the "State" selection box on billing/shipping web forms.

If it's one word, Massachusetts wins.

If standard state names only, including all words, several states tie at 13 letters (including North Carolina and South Carolina)

I didn't know about Rhode Island. That one would win an advanced trivia bet, I'm sure.

Give one city to the thugs so they can all live together. I vote for Chicago where they have strict gun laws.
