- Newport News is an independent city in the Hampton Roads region of Virginia. It is at the south-western end of the Virginia Peninsula, on the north shore of the James River extending southeast from Skiffe's Creek along many miles of waterfront to the river's mouth at Newport News Point on the harbor of Hampton Roads. The area known as Newport News was part of Warwick County, one of the eight original shires of Virginia formed by the House of Burgesses in the British Colony of Virginia by order of King Charles I in 1634. The county was largely composed of farms and undeveloped land until almost 250 years later. In 1881, 15 years of explosive development began under the leadership of Collis P. Huntington, whose new Peninsula Extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway from Richmond opened up transportation along the Peninsula and provided a new pathway for the railroad to bring West Virginia bituminous coal to port for coastal shipping and worldwide export. With the new railroad came a terminal and coal piers where the colliers were loaded. Within a few years, Huntington and his associates also built a large shipyard. In 1896, the new unincorporated town of Newport News, which had briefly replaced Denbigh as the county seat of Warwick County, became an independent city, separating from the county. In 1900, 19,635 people lived in Newport News, Virginia; in 1910, 20,205; in 1920, 35,596; and in 1940, 37,067. In 1958, by mutual consent by referendum, Newport News was consolidated with the former Warwick County (itself a separate city from 1952 to 1958), rejoining the two localities to approximately their pre-1896 geographic size, The more widely known name of Newport News was selected as they formed what was then Virginia's third largest independent city in population. As of the 2000 census, the city population was 180,150. A more recent 2008 estimate indicates the city's population has slightly declined to 179,614, ranking it as Virginia's fifth largest incorporated city by population. With many residents employed at the expansive Northrop Grumman Newport News Shipbuilding, the U.S. Army base at Fort Eustis, and other military bases and suppliers, the city's economy is very connected to the military. The location on the harbor and along the James River facilitates a large boating industry which can take advantage of its many miles of waterfront. Newport News also serves as a junction between the rails and the sea with the Newport News Marine Terminals located at the East End of the city. Served by major east-west Interstate Highway 64, it is linked to others of the Seven Cities of Hampton Roads by the circumferential Hampton Roads Beltway, which crosses the harbor on two bridge-tunnels. Part of the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is in the city limits.
- Newport News ist eine kreisfreie Stadt im östlichen Virginia in den USA. Sie erstreckt sich entlang des Flusses James River, zwischen Williamsburg und Norfolk und liegt im Norden der Region Hampton Roads. Newport News ist mit etwa 175 km² die flächenmäßig viertgrößte Stadt in Virginia und hatte im Jahr 2004 181.913 Einwohner. Die Stadt wurde 1621 gegründet. Der Ursprung des Namens ist bis heute nicht eindeutig geklärt. Eine interessante Erklärung ist folgende: als die ersten englischen Siedler von Jamestown nach einer Hungerperiode 1610 zurück nach England segeln wollten, trafen sie beim heutigen Newport News auf das Schiff von Kapitän Christopher Newport, das mit Nachschub und Verstärkung ankam. Sie mussten somit aufgrund Newports positiver Nachrichten (Newport's good news) Jamestown nicht aufgeben. Eine banalere Erklärung liegt im altenglischen Wort news begründet, das neue Ortschaft bedeutet. Der Ort wurde ursprünglich Newport's News genannt. Seit 1866 wird der Name von der amerikanischen Post als Newport News geführt. Die Schiffswerft Newport News Shipbuilding hat hier ihren Sitz. Nach Christopher Newport wurde die Universität der Stadt benannt. Nach der Stadt wurden drei Schiffe der US Navy benannt: der Frachter USS Newport News (AK-3), der schwere Kreuzer USS Newport News (CA-148) sowie das sich gegenwärtig in Dienst befindliche Atom-U-Boot USS Newport News (SSN-750).
