Newport

Few communities in Pennsylvania have a history as closely tied to the Juniata River transportation corridor as Newport. Set on the river’s north bank in Perry County, this borough lies amid the long ridges and narrow valleys of the Appalachian Ridge-and-Valley province. The Pennsylvania Canal’s Juniata Division and later rail connections made the river valley an important route through central Pennsylvania; Newport’s compact center still reflects that role in its older commercial and residential streets. Today, farms, wooded slopes and the river shape the setting around town. Continue through nearby webcams to explore different parts of Newport and the Juniata Valley.
