Newport, Rhode Island
Positioned on the southern tip of Aquidneck Island in
Rhode Island s Narragansett Bay, the seaport town of Newport was founded in 1639. Renowned for its elegant mansions and the Newport Jazz Festival, Newport was the playground for wealthy
U.S. industrialists in the 19th century. The mansions are living testimony to the decadence of that era; made with materials and artistry so outrageously expensive, the mansions would be all but impossible to reproduce today.
Newport is without questions the ultimate Rhode Island beach town with its cobblestone streets, upscale shops, trendy restaurants, sandy beaches and flotillas of sleek sailboats. Enjoying warm and breezy summers, and some say, perfect sailing conditions, Newport is the proud home of Newport Cup sailing with a strong dedication to the sport of sailing and lifestyle. In 1697, New Port became the first city to pass a traffic ordinance. It hosted the First Circus in 1794 and was the first to use gas
