History

The early community was known as the “Bowen Settlement”, after its founder Benjamin Bowen. He purchased the land around 1788 and began improvements and invited settlers to purchase land.

The village was incorporated in 1857. It was then an important cheese center.

Newport was the home of Algernon Smith (1842 – 1876), an officer in the U.S. 7th Cavalry Regiment who was killed in the Battle of the Little Bighorn. Newport was also the home of Linus Yale Sr. and Linus Yale Jr., lockmakers and inventors. The Yale-Cady Octagon House and Yale Lock Factory Site is located in Newport.

Five other structures in Newport are on the New York State and National Register of Historic Places: the Benjamin Bowen House, Newport Stone Arch Bridge, Masonic Temple — Newport Lodge No. 445 F. & A.M., and Stuart Perry and William Swezey Houses.
