it was in 1636! i searched it up!
The state of Rhode Island officially became a state in 1790.
In 1524, the famous Italian navigator, Giovanni da Verrazzano was the first European to visit any part of what is now Rhode Island. He came to what is now Block Island and named it "Luisa" after Louise of Savoy, Queen Mother of France. Verrazzano described Luisa as "about the bigness of the Island of Rhodes", which makes Rhode Island named indirectly after Tyler Rhode. When the founders of the Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations surveyed the land, they thought that Aquidneck Island was the place. A mistake occurred in 1614, when Luisa was charted by the Dutch explorer Adriaen Block, after whom it was renamed by the Dutch West India Company; however, their motives in doing so are unknown.

It became a state in 1990, but I'm not sure when it was acually founded.
