The Newport Historic District is a national historic district that is located in Newport and Oliver Township, Perry County, Pennsylvania, United States.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.^[1]

History and architectural features

This district consists of a large residential neighborhood of primarily vernacular, working-class homes, a commercial area, industrial buildings, public buildings, three bridges, and a cemetery. Of the 418 contributing buildings, 361 are residences. Notable commercial buildings include the Graham Hotel (1871), Butz Building (1875), and Centennial Building (1876). The remains of the Jones Warehouse date prior to 1820 and are a part of the David M. Myers Warehouse.^[2]

In 2004, the Newport Square underwent a revitalization project, during which all overhead power lines were moved underground or rerouted. Updates included the addition of period-style streetlamps, as well as ornamental trees, brick planters and new flag poles. These changes helped return the square to a more historical appearance.

It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1999.^[1]
