1866 - 1966

The city of Newport was named on July 4, 1866.
On that day the townspeople and many visitors gathered to celebrate the ninetieth anniversary of National Independence Day and to name this small fishing and lumbering community.
A tall pole was erected to receive the American flag.
Prayer was offered, followed by singing and eloquent addresses abounding with loyalty and love of country.


In October, 1882, Newport was incorporated as a city with a population of about 250.
Through the development of lumbering, fishing and recreational resources, the town has grown to the present population of 5,577.

Today, we here honor our city founders and pledge continued dedication to God, Nation, State and Community - that future generation may find our city as our forebears dreamed of it: "The bright and rising start of Oregon... may she ever be ascendant!"
