Newport is a city in and the county seat of Pend Oreille County, Washington, United States. The population was 2,114 at the 2020 census. == History == Newport was given its name in 1890 due to its selection as a landing site for the first steamboat on the Pend Oreille River. The region around present-day Newport, Washington, has been inhabited for at least 10,000 years and remains part of the traditional homeland of the Kalispel people. In 1809 and 1810, fur trader and explorer David Thompson of the North West Company traveled through the area while mapping trade routes in the Inland Northwest. In the 1850s, Dr. George Suckley, commissioned by Washington Territory Governor Isaac I. Stevens, conducted surveys of the region. His work focused on assessing timber resources, documenting the terrain, and identifying possible transportation routes. The arrival of the Great Northern Railway connected Newport to wider markets by linking river transport with the rail line. This ended much of the community’s isolation and opened the way for Pend Oreille County’s mining and timber industries to reach distant buyers.
