Newport News, Virginia Info
Newport News is a bustling port city located along the north side of Hampton Roads and at the mouth of the James River. The area was first settled by Irish colonists, led by Daniel Gookin. It is believed that the name of the city, Newport News, was taken in honor of Captain Christopher Newport, who was the commander of five expeditions to Jamestown. The population of the city, which is about 180,000 today, did not start to boom until the 1880's, when Collis P. Huntington built the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway, coal piers, and a shipyard in the area. In 1886, the Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock Company was founded, and it became one of the largest and most complete shipyards in the world. In addition to being a major port city, Newport News is also a city that handles coal, ore, bulk liquids, general cargo, and various manufacturing industries.
Besides being a commercial center, Newport News also contains many historical attractions such as the Mariner's Museum, Virginia War Museum, and the Virginia Living Museum. Education is also important in the area at Christopher Newport University. Newport News also contains 32 parks, with Newport News Park being the second largest city park in the country. Recreational activities that the area has to offer include golfing, fishing, camping, archery, and biking. Transportation via the railway or bus network running throughout the city is extremely efficient and convenient. Residents living in a home or apartment for rent love all of the history, shopping, dining, and commercial opportunities that the city has to offer.
