Founded in 1795, historic Newport provides an excellent blend of treasures from the past and contemporary development. The community's lively and beautiful revitalized riverfront area provides a striking view of the Cincinnati skyline. The riverfront also hosts several premier attractions including the Newport Aquarium and Newport on the Levee. The latter is a $210 million food and entertainment complex near the World Peace Bell and Monmouth Street, another area that has been beautified with new walkways, trees, and street lamps. East Row Historic District and the revitalized historic downtown district showcase architectural charm and beauty in Italianate, Queen Anne, and Colonial Revival buildings. Wonderful restaurants, theaters, entertainment centers, and annual celebrations have made Newport increasingly popular with newcomers and visitors alike.
