The county was created in 1747 when it was separated from Bristol County, Massachusetts.[3] Bristol County is included in the Providence-Warwick, RI-MA Metropolitan Statistical Area, which is in turn constitutes a portion of the greater Boston-Worcester-Providence, MA-RI-NH-CT Combined Statistical Area. HistoryThe county was formed by the transfer of part of Bristol County, Massachusetts, to the state of Rhode Island, and was the subject of a long-running border dispute.[4] The original county was part of the Plymouth Colony and named after its "shire town" (county seat), what is now Bristol, Rhode Island. The new Rhode Island county was formed in 1746 with the full modern territory of Bristol, Barrington, and Warren.[5] See Bristol County, Massachusetts for later land transfers between Massachusetts and Rhode Island. {{further|History of Massachusetts}}GeographyAccording to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of {{convert|45|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|24|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|21|sqmi}} (46%) is water.[6] It is the smallest county in Rhode Island.
