Newport, Vermont, was named after Newport, Rhode Island. The town was established in the early 19th century, and the name was likely chosen to honor the coastal city, reflecting a common practice of naming new settlements after existing ones in the United States. The name "Newport" itself is derived from Old English, meaning "new port," which is fitting for a town located near Lake Memphremagog.
