Newport the third-largest city in Wales after Cardiff and Swansea stands on the banks of the River Usk, It is the cultural capital and largest urban area of the traditional county of Monmouthshire and governed by the unitary Newport City Council. Newport was the focal point of a major Chartist uprising in 1839, where John Frost and 3,000 others marched on the Westgate Hotel. John Frost Square, in the centre of the city, is named in his honour. The name Newport comes from the fact that Caerleon was the 'old port' on the river Usk, but as ships became bigger, they could no longer navigate the river to Caerleon so a new port/dock was built near to where the Riverfront Arts Centre stands today.
The river Usk at Newport has always proved an attractive place to make a home. Bronze Age fishermen settled around its fertile estuary and later the Celtic Silures built hill forts overlooking it. On the very edge of their empire, the Roman legions built a fortress at Caerleon to defend the river crossing. The Normans arrived in 1090 to build a castle and river crossing downstream. Around the settlement, the New Town grew to be become Newport and was granted a charter by Hugh, Earl of Stafford in 1385.
Newport has a rich history and to view it one can visit the Museum and Art Gallery to discover more. Burrows House Museum built in 1895 features exhibits of Lincoln County history, including period rooms of the Victorian era with household furnishings and clothing. The Oregon Coast History Center, a log cabin museum focuses on the history of pioneering, the local Siletz Indian tribe, and the logging and fishing industries in Lincoln County. Another key building within Newport's cultural history is the Tredegar House which is one of the best examples of a 17th century Charles II mansion in Britain. It provides a fascinating look at life in the 'big house', as well as providing a great day out for the family.
