Newport sits on the Christina River in northern Delaware, where a compact river town forms part of the wider Wilmington urban area. Its location at the former head of navigation on the Christina helped make Newport a modest trading and shipping point during the colonial period. The Newport Historic District preserves the scale and street pattern of that earlier settlement, while major roads connect the town with Wilmington, Newark and the rest of New Castle County. The river continues east toward the Delaware River through an increasingly urban corridor.
