About Newport
Newport is a tiny, quiet community in northern Nebraska's Sandhills, just south of the Niobrara River. Founded in the 1880s as a railroad stop, it offers a peaceful rural lifestyle surrounded by open ranch country. Because the village is so small, everyday essentials and local schools are located about ten miles west in Bassett, the county seat. For anyone moving here, Newport provides wide-open skies and easy access to outdoor recreation along the river.
