Newport was "discovered" in 1870 when Captain Samuel S. Dunnells successfully navigated his 105-ton steamer through the upper portion of what is now called Newport Bay, which was previously thought to be too marshy for passage. Having delivered a load of lumber, Capt. Dunnells, along with the principal property owners of the area (James and Robert McFadden and James Irvine) then named the area for this, the "new port."
