Newport
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search

For other uses, see Newport (disambiguation).

Newport (Welsh: Casnewydd) is the third-largest city within
Wales
(after Cardiff and Swansea), in the United Kingdom.
Standing on the banks of the River Usk,
it is the cultural capital and largest urban area
of the historic county of Monmouthshire
and governed by the unitary Newport City Council.
The population of Newport city is 140,000 inhabitants and
the greater urban area is in excess of 160,000
(est. 2006).

The name Newport comes from the fact that
Caerleon was the 'old port' on the river Usk,
but as ships became bigger,
they could no longer navigate the river to Caerleon
so a new port/dock was built near to
where the Riverfront Arts Centre stands today

The Welsh name for the city,
Casnewydd-ar-Wysg
(IPA: [kasˈnɛʊɪð ar ˈwɪsk]) means
'New castle-on-Usk'
(this is a shortened version of Castell Newydd ar Wysg).
This refers to the twelfth-century castle ruins near the city centre
The original Newport Castle was a small Motte-and-bailey castle
in the park opposite St. Woolos Cathedral.
It was buried in rubble excavated from the railway tunnels
that were dug under Stow Hill in the 1840s
and no part of it is currently visible.

Newport also has the Latin name Novus Burgus,
meaning new borough or new town.
It is sometimes labelled Newport-on-Usk
on old maps.

The city's importance as a trading port in the Middle Ages
was emphasised
when a 15th century ship, referred to locally as the
Newport ship,
was uncovered from the bank of the Usk in 2002,
during the construction of the Riverfront Arts Centre.

The city is home to the world-class Celtic Manor Resort,
Europe's leading five-star conference resort
and
home of the Celtic Manor Wales Open,
the annual European Tour golf tournament.
The resort is also venue for the 2010 Ryder Cup.
