Just 30 miles from Harrisburg, Carlisle and Mechanicsburg, historic Newport offers small town living with all the nearby conveniences. Our town grew from a Native American settlement in the 1700s to an active port in the early 1800s, first on the Juniata River and then on the Pennsylvania Canal. When railroads became the major source of transportation, grains, lumber, leather and textiles produced in the surrounding communities were shipped via the trains passing through the hub in Newport.
During this period, most of the major buildings were erected on the square to house the retail outlets and businesses to support mill owners, workers and the agricultural community. At the same time, stately residences reflecting varied architectural styles were constructed. The concentration of building in its historic district earned Newport the distinction of being listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Today, Newport is a vibrant blend of commuters, farmers, artists and business people. Experience unique shops, a winery, a brewery, hiking trails at Little Buffalo State Park, rich history, and boating and fishing on the Juniata River. We invite you to explore all our vibrant town has to offer!
