Description

View of Newport, Sullivan County, N.H., 1877 / drawn & published by Ruger & Stoner.

This hand-colored bird’s-eye view print of Newport, New Hampshire was drawn and published by Ruger & Stoner, Shober & Carqueville Lith. in 1877. Newport was settled in the 1760's at the confluence of the Sugar River with its south branch. The soil was determined to be good for farming and the river waters held ample power to operate mills as early as 1813.

In the 1820's the Sunapee Dam was erected, which increased the river-power and enabled more mills to be built and powered by its rapid waters. The woolen textile mills and tanneries established at Newport allowed the town to prosper and grow.

Newport gained momentum in 1871, with the addition of the Sugar River Railroad, which connected the town with Bradford
