The harbor town of Newport, Rhode Island, is located on the southern tip of Aquidneck Island. Established as a colony in 1639, Newport was a major port in the trade of slaves, rum and molasses. During British occupation (1776 - 1779) many buildings in Newport were destroyed but, fortunately, several of the 18th-century buildings survived and continue to grace Newport today. In the 1850s, the area drew wealthy people with opulent lifestyles. Many of the lavish mansions have been restored as museums. The history of Newport, the rugged coastline and sandy beaches, as well as its many shops and restaurants create an enchanting tourist destination
