City History

The area that would become present day Newport was first settled as the community of Kaposia in 1839. By 1843, the name was changed to Red Rock, and a bit to its south sprang the settlement of Newport. Each of these settlements were distinct, with different industries and other features, though both saw a boom in growth in the late 1800s and early 1900s when the Farmerā€™s Terminal State Bank and the Farmerā€™s Terminal Meat Packing Company moved into the area. Eventually, the two communities merged into one, creating the city we know today.
