Founded in 1793, the city of Newport, Vermont sits on the east shore of Lake Memphremagog – a 27-mile long lake that straddles the US and Canadian border. The city’s history is informed by its unique location on the lake and early introduction of the railway.
Early businesses in Newport centered around the lumber industry and the lake itself. Many original, historic buildings still stand downtown and are in use as shops, restaurants, and municipal buildings.
