History

Newport is a city on Aquidneck Island in Newport County, Rhode Island County, Rhode Island, United States, about 30 miles (48 km) south of Providence, Rhode Island Known as a New England summer resort and for the famous Newport Mansions, it is the home of Salve Regina University and Naval Station Newport which houses the United States Naval War College, the Naval Undersea Warfare Center, and a major United States Navy training center. During the colonial period, Newport was the center of the slave trade in New England. As part of the agreement, Coddington and his followers took control of the southern side of the island. The Coddington/Easton divide would dominate Newport politics for much of the 17th century. In the 1720s, colonial leaders, acting under pressure from the British government, arrested many pirates.
