Well, Kent is the only county that doesn't border a major population center in another state. It borders Connecticut but it borders the middle of absolutely nowhere in Connecticut. Providence County borders Attleboro and that whole dense area; Newport County borders Fall River; Bristol County borders Seekonk and Swansea; Washington is next to the Connecticut Shoreline and places like Pawcatuck and further afield Mystic, New London, the casinos. Only Kent isn't right on top of out-of-state jobs.
