A Brief History of Newport, MN

The origin of Newport can be traced back to a single settler, John Holton, who arrived in the area in 1837. He set up a Methodist mission with Reverend Alfred Brunson to influence the the nearby Dakota village, Kaposia, which is now a part of South St. Paul.

As tensions rose within the village, Holton and Brunson moved across the river. Their mission was abandoned years later. The site of the mission became home to a trading post and, later, a post office. Steamships began docking there by the mid-19th century, and farmers soon arrived to settle in the area.

Newport was where the first cheese was processed in Minnesota, and various fruit was grown in the immediate area. A sawmill also drew many workers to Newport and, by 1889, the Village of Newport was incorporated.
