The American Original
Not all of these items are named exclusively for the sea-side community of Newport, RI but a sizable majority of the merchandise bearing the moniker are indeed inspired by the city known as "America’s First Resort".
Like many New England locales, RI’s first capital is the namesake of a city in Great Britain - most likely the coastal city of Newport on the border of England and Wales, or the capital city of the UK’s Isle of Wight. America’s frst "New Port" was founded in 1639 - the oldest American city bearing the name.
For genuine American history and old-world charm, no other city compares with the original Newport - Rhode Island’s three-and-a-half century old jewel. Beautiful beaches, centuries-old Inns and B&Bs, breathtaking architecture, outstanding ocean vistas, world-renowned festivals and legendary sailing are all among the reasons that the name Newport has come to symbolize excellence to people across the nation.
Newport RI’s appeal has been often imitated, but never equaled. The next time you spot "Newport" gracing the label of a bag of snack chips or a bottle of cologne, keep in mind that there’s nothing like the original!
The Newport County Convention & Visitors Bureau is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to the promotion of the City of Newport and the five townships of Newport County as a destination resort for business and leisure travel.
