Newport

Newport is best known within Minnesota for its position on the Mississippi River, immediately south of Saint Paul. Part of Washington County and the Twin Cities metropolitan area, this small city has a distinctly river-oriented setting beyond the region’s central urban districts. The broad Mississippi corridor has shaped local transport and settlement, linking Newport upstream with Saint Paul and downstream with Hastings and southeastern Minnesota. Its location illustrates the transition between the dense Twin Cities and the working river landscapes of the Upper Mississippi.
