Newport, County seat in Lincoln County, Oregon.
Newport extends along the Pacific coast at 40 meters elevation, featuring the Oregon Coast Aquarium and Hatfield Marine Science Center near South Beach.
Established in 1882 after white settlers arrived in 1864, Newport was named after its Rhode Island counterpart and became Lincoln County's administrative center in 1952.
The city maintains its maritime identity through the commercial fishing fleet at the Bayfront, where visitors observe sea lions lounging on the docks.
