NEWPORT.
This is the shire town of Sulli- van county. Owing to its central location, its valuable water power, and railroad facilities, together with the business character of its inhabitants, Newport has become one of the most important and en- terprising towns in the western section of the State. For a number of years it has not kept pace in the march of improvement with other towns in the State, inferior in natural resources, for the lack of railroad facilities; but that ob- stacle has been removed by the com- pletion of the Sugar River Rail- road, to this town, in November, 1871, and to Claremont, in the fall of 1872. Since the first date, bus- iness, in every department, has made rapid strides, and improve- ments are seen on every hand.
The surface of the town is gener- ally uneven, frequently broken by considerable elevations; but on the borders of the Sugar River and its branches are large tracts of interval land, yielding good

crops of corn, grass, &c, The soil on the uplands is strong and when properly tilled, produces excellent crops. There are many valuable farms in this town, under high cultivation. The apple produc- tions are more valuable than in any other town in the county. Some of the finest maple sugar orchards in the State, may be found in this town. Forty thousand pounds of maple sugar are annually manu- factured.
Rivers. Sugar River, the out- let of Sunapee Lake, together with the North and South branches, are the principal streams in town. Near the village, the Sugar re- ceives the waters of the South branch, which has its source in Lempster, Unity and Goshen; thence flowing north about two miles, it meets the waters of the North branch, coming from Spring- field, Grantham and Croydon, nearly in an opposite direction, whence it passes west through Claremont into the Connecticut. At the outlet of Sunapee Lake, there is a stone dam, with gates ar- ranged for drawing from the sur- face of the lake ten feet of water. The full capacity of this valuable reservoir has never been tested.
