Newport, Rhode Island, got its name from the term "New Port," which was used to signify a new harbor or port. The settlement was established in 1639 by a group of dissenters from Massachusetts seeking religious freedom and economic opportunity. The name reflects its status as a new settlement with a strategic coastal location for trade and commerce. Over time, it evolved into the modern name "Newport."
