About Newport News, Virginia
Newport News is an independent city of 186,247 people on the north shore of the James River, where the river reaches the harbor of Hampton Roads. Most of its land once lay in Warwick County, which grew out of one of Virginia's eight original shires. Until after the Civil War, the area held only plantations and a small fishing village. That changed when Collis P. Huntington, a California railroad man, chose it as the port for West Virginia coal, and his agents began buying land here in 1865.
Huntington's Chesapeake and Ohio Railway built a line down the peninsula from Richmond, and coal piers rose on the harbor. On October 19, 1881, the first train ever to leave Newport News pulled out of Lee Hall Depot on temporary tracks, bound for the Cornwallis Surrender Centennial Celebration at Yorktown. Thousands of workers followed the railroad and the shipyard, and a building boom brought the Hotel Warwick, churches, banks and a newspaper. Newport News became an independent city on January 16, 1896, with Walter A. Post as its first mayor, and in 1958 voters merged it with the city of Warwick.
- A name from 1621Newportes Newes appears as early as 1621, the oldest city name of English origin in the Americas, but its source is uncertain. The best-known story says Jamestown colonists fleeing the Starving Time of 1609 to 1610 on one of Captain Christopher Newport's ships met a new governor's supply fleet and were sent back: Newport's good news. The post office used New Port News from 1851 and Newport News from 1866.
- Battleships for the Great White FleetHuntington's next venture was a shipyard, called Newport News Shipbuilding & Dry Dock Co. from 1890. It was meant to move goods from rail to sea, but Navy work soon took over. When President Theodore Roosevelt sent the Great White Fleet around the world in 1907, the yard had built seven of its 16 battleships, and it later grew into the world's largest shipyard.
- Hilton Village, 1917In 1917 a Navy contract brought thousands of new shipyard workers, and the city soon ran short of housing. To keep the war work moving, Congress paid for the first planned community ever built by the government: 473 homes in the style of an English village, now the Hilton Village neighborhood.
- The Mariners' MuseumArcher M. Huntington, son of Collis, and his wife, the sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, began building the Mariners' Museum in 1932. Along the way they created a natural park and Mariners' Lake, and the museum grew into one of the largest maritime museums anywhere.
