Newport is a city on the Ohio River in Northern Kentucky.

Founded in the 1790's by James Taylor, Jr., Newport is named after British Admiral Christopher Newport, who helped to found the Jamestown colony in 1607. In its early years, Newport was home to an army post, which helped to spur the town's growth. Today, it is proximity to Cincinnati that provides the spur, as Newport's hotels and riverfront area draw visitors from the Queen City.

[edit] Get in

[edit] By plane

There are two airports close to Newport:

• Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport (CVG) [1] is on the Kentucky side of the Ohio River.
• Louisville International Airport (IATA: SDF, IACO: KSDF) [2]

[edit] By car

Newport is served by Interstates 71 (from Columbus and Louisville), 75 (from Dayton and Lexington), 471 (a spur of I-71- to the south), and 275 (the circle beltway). One of the most beautiful panoramic views in the country occurs when driving northbound on Interstate 71/75 (the interstate routes share the same highway in part of Northern Kentucky) traveling into downtown Cincinnati, just before the Brent Spence Bridge.
