Newport is a city located in north-central Kentucky at the confluence of the Ohio and Licking Rivers. It's part of the Greater Cincinnati, Ohio metropolitan area, which is home to over two million people. The city of Newport contains the second largest National Historic District in the state of Kentucky. The town was settled in the 1790s by General James Taylor Jr. from land inherited by his father. Taylor built a grand home in the Greek Revival style on a hill overlooking the Ohio River. This home still stands today. Newport became a hub for trade, industry and culture, and the Victorian era was the city's most affluent period. The East Row Historic District is home to 1,070 beautiful homes - all listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Early houses, near the western edge of the district, were built in the Italianate style, later homes were built in Queen Anne, the Colonial Revival and American Foursquare style. A few blocks from East Row is the city's riverfront district, which is still undergoing redevelopment. One of the city's other major attractions is the Newport Aquarium. The aquarium features over 70 exhibits and 14 galleries that showcases animals from all over the world. Scooter and Sweet Pea, are two of the few shark rays in captivity and the only breeding pair on display in the world. The Newport Aquarium is open 365 days a year. This is just a small sample of what's available in Newport - there's so much more. Plus it's only a short drive across the river to the city of Cincinnati's shopping, restaurants, museums and historical attractions.
