History



Early


In 1753, the Abenakis brought the ransomed John Stark down Lake Memphremagog and came ashore where Newport is now situated. They then traveled southeast to his home in New Hampshire.


Newport as a settlement began in 1793.[5] The village was first called Pickeral Point, but later renamed Lake Bridge for its location at the head of Lake Memphremagog.[6]


In 1816, part of the former town of Salem, was annexed to Newport town, and is now part of the city.[7] In 1868, the Lake Bridge settlement was incorporated as the Village of Newport. It became a busy lumber town. The firm of Prouty & Miller, a lumbering firm, was started in 1865.[8]


In 1932, the city had a poor farm for the indigent.[9]



Transportation


In 1868, a livery stable that would ultimately grow to 100 horses, started operating behind a hotel, several blocks from the railway station.[10]


The railroad reached the village in 1863.[11] By the late 19th century, the Boston & Maine and Central Vermont railroads were routed through Lake Bridge and the small village experienced a population boom. The last passenger train left Newport in 1965.[12]


The Lady of the Lake steam excursion/ferry boat started operating in 1867. It stopped operations in 1917. This is used as Newport's logo.


In 1917, the city paved Main Street. By 1930, 4,000 motor vehicles a day, during the summer, traveled the street.[13]


The city sold its airport to the state of Vermont in the 1970s.[14]



Military


Rogers' Rangers were forced to retreat through the county following their attack on Saint-Francis, Quebec in 1759. To confound their avenging pursuers, they split up on the east shore of Lake Memphremagog. One group followed the Clyde River east. Another followed the Barton River south.[15]


In the early 19th century, the women of pioneer Calvin Arnold's household, refused to live in the Arnold house near what is now Clyde Pond, because of depredations by the Indians.[16]


The city had a scare when they received news of the St. Albans Raid during the American Civil War. They thought these raids might repeat throughout the state but particularly at the south end of the lake. The militia was turned out. The ferry from Magog was met with determined looking armed men, much to the captain's surprise, who had heard nothing about the raid. Armed Norwich University students were shipped in by train. Nothing happened and everyone was sent home in a few days.[11]


In 1891, the American Civil War Reunion Society of Vermont Officers held its annual reunion in Newport.[17]


In August 1942, a single-engined Royal Canadian Air Force training plane crashed into the lake near the west shore near the city, killing the only occupant, the pilot.[18]



Architecture




Railroad station and steamboat Lady of the Lake in 1908


In 1873, the Bellevue Hotel was built to accommodate 75, and later, 100 guests. It was renamed the Newport House by 1891. It was demolished in 1973.[19] The Memphremagog Hotel burned in 1907.[12]


The Newport Wharf Light was a tower built on Lake Memphremagog in 1879. It has since been demolished.[20] The current county courthouse was built in 1886.[13] That was the year that the legislature moved the shire town here.[21] In 1879, the Field Opera House and Clock Tower was constructed. In 1896, it was destroyed by fire. The municipal building is now at this site.[22]

The now-historic Goodrich Memorial Library was built in 1899.[23] The parochial Sacred Heart School was opened in 1904 as part of the Burlington Roman Catholic Diocese School District.[24] It closed in the fall of 2007.




Main Street in 1908


In 1917, the city of Newport was formed from portions of the towns of Newport (former village of Newport) and Derby (former village of West Derby). It was organized on March 5, 1918. There were four elementary schools named after the section of the city they were in: East, West, and South schools. Newport High was across from the West School. There were 60 businesses downtown; east, west and south had an additional 40 businesses.[25]


The current federal courthouse was built in 1904. Then, it included the post office.[13]


The city was once divided into at least five neighborhoods: Chief-O, Stove-Pipe City, Skunk Hollow, French Village, and Batesville. Most of these names are not used in the 21st century. Batesville was the section around Prouty Bay. Skunk Hollow was in the valley west of Western Avenue.[26]



Business

The lumbering firm Prouty & Miller, started in 1865, went out of business in the 1980s.[8]


The Frost Veneer Mill, located on Prouty Bay, was once a primary employer in the Batesville neighborhood.[26]


Between 1936 and 1953, the International Club in Newport had the largest dance floor in New England, 220 by 60 feet (67 by 18 m).[27] It was capable of holding 2,000 dancers. Various performers stopped to entertain while en route between Boston and Montreal on the railroad. These included: Louis Armstrong, Charlie Barnet, Les Brown, Cab Calloway, Rosemary Clooney, the Dorsey Brothers, Jimmy and Tommy; Stan Kenton, Kay Kyser, Gene Krupa, Glenn Miller, Tony Pastor, and Louis Prima.[28][29]


In 2003, the Newport-headquartered Citizens Utility was sold and divided up among Great Bay Hydro and Vermont Electric Cooperative.[16] The Vermont Teddy Bear Company once had a plant within the city.[30] A Columbia Forest Products plant once employed about 100 workers.[31] A local subsidiary of an international ski clothing manufacturer once employed 30 workers.[32] It closed in 2011.



Geography


According to the United States Census Bureau, the city has a total area of 7.6 square miles (20 square kilometres), of which 6.0 square miles (16 km2) is land and 1.6 square miles (4.1 km2) (20.87%) is water. The city surrounds the southern shore of Lake Memphremagog. Three of the four major rivers in the county empty into the lake here: the Clyde, Barton, and the Black.


Newport borders the towns of Coventry to the south, Newport to the west, and Derby to the north and east.

It will cost about $5.26 million. The state will pay 90%; the city, the remainder.[56]


The final bridge is the trestle for the railway.
