<P>The original area near the mouth of the <A href="/wiki/James_River_(Virginia)" class="mw-redirect" title="James River (Virginia)">James River</A> was first referred to as <I>Newportes Newes</I> as early as 1621.<SUP id="cite_ref-5" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-5">[5]</A></SUP></P>
<P>The source of the name "Newport News" is not known with certainty. Several versions are recorded, and it is the subject of popular speculation locally. Probably the best-known explanation holds that when an early group of <A href="/wiki/Jamestown,_Virginia" title="Jamestown, Virginia">Jamestown</A> colonists left to return to England after the <A href="/wiki/Starving_Time_(Jamestown)" class="mw-redirect" title="Starving Time (Jamestown)">Starving Time</A> during the winter of 1609–1610 aboard a ship of <A href="/wiki/Christopher_Newport" title="Christopher Newport">Captain Christopher Newport</A>, they encountered another fleet of supply ships under the new Governor <A href="/wiki/Thomas_West,_3rd_Baron_De_La_Warr" title="Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr">Thomas West, 3rd Baron De La Warr</A> in the James River off <A href="/wiki/Mulberry_Island" title="Mulberry Island">Mulberry Island</A> with reinforcements of men and supplies. The new governor ordered them to turn around, and return to Jamestown. Under this theory, the community was named for Newport's "good news". Another possibility is that the community may have derived its name from an old English word "news" meaning "new town". At least one source claims that the "New" arose from the original settlement's being rebuilt after a fire.<SUP id="cite_ref-mariner_name_6-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-mariner_name-6">[6]</A></SUP></P>
<P>Another source gave the original name as <I>New Port Newce</I>, named for a person with the name Newce and the town's place as a new seaport. The namesake, Sir William Newce, was an English soldier and originally settled in Ireland. There he had established <A href="/wiki/Newcestown" title="Newcestown">Newcestown</A> near <A href="/wiki/Bandon,_County_Cork" title="Bandon, County Cork">Bandon, County Cork</A>. He sailed to Virginia with Sir <A href="/wiki/Francis_Wyatt" title="Francis Wyatt">Francis Wyatt</A> in October 1621 and was granted 2,500 acres (1,012 ha) of land. He died two days later. His brother, Capt. Thomas Newce, was given "600 acres at <A href="/wiki/Kecoughtan,_Virginia" title="Kecoughtan, Virginia">Kequatan</A>, now called <A href="/wiki/Elizabeth_City_(Virginia_Company)" title="Elizabeth City (Virginia Company)">Elizabeth Cittie</A>." A partner <A href="/wiki/Daniel_Gookin" title="Daniel Gookin">Daniel Gookin</A> completed founding the settlement.<SUP id="cite_ref-7" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-7">[7]</A></SUP></P>
<P>In his 1897 two-volume work <I>Old Virginia and her Neighbors,</I> American historian <A href="/wiki/John_Fiske_(philosopher)" title="John Fiske (philosopher)">John Fiske</A> writes:</P>

</BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>The fact that the name formerly appeared as "Newport's News" is verified by numerous early documents and maps, and by local tradition. The change to Newport News came about through usage, for by 1851 the Post Office Department sanctioned "New Port News" (three words) as the name of the first post office. In 1866 it approved the name as "Newport News", the current form.<SUP id="cite_ref-mariner_name_6-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-mariner_name-6">[6]</A></SUP></P>

<P>During the 17th century, shortly after founding of <A href="/wiki/Jamestown,_Virginia" title="Jamestown, Virginia">Jamestown, Virginia</A> in 1607, English settlers explored and began settling the areas adjacent to Hampton Roads. In 1610, Sir <A href="/wiki/Thomas_Gates_(governor)" title="Thomas Gates (governor)">Thomas Gates</A> "took possession" of a nearby <A href="/wiki/Native_Americans_of_the_United_States" class="mw-redirect" title="Native Americans of the United States">Native American</A> village, which became known as <A href="/wiki/Kecoughtan,_Virginia" title="Kecoughtan, Virginia">Kecoughtan</A>. At that time, settlers began clearing land along the James River (the navigable part of which was called <A href="/wiki/Hampton_Roads" title="Hampton Roads">Hampton Roads</A>) for plantations, including the present area of Newport News.</P>
<P>In 1619, the area of Newport News was included in one of four huge corporations of the <A href="/wiki/Virginia_Company_of_London" class="mw-redirect" title="Virginia Company of London">Virginia Company of London</A>. It became known as <A href="/wiki/Elizabeth_City_(Virginia_Company)" title="Elizabeth City (Virginia Company)">Elizabeth Cittie</A> and extended west all the way to <A href="/wiki/Skiffe%27s_Creek" title="Skiffe's Creek">Skiffe's Creek</A> (currently the border between Newport News and <A href="/wiki/James_City_County,_Virginia" title="James City County, Virginia">James City County</A>).

<P>By 1634, the English colony of Virginia consisted of a population of approximately 5,000 inhabitants. It was divided into eight <A href="/wiki/Shires_of_Virginia" title="Shires of Virginia">shires of Virginia</A>, which were renamed as <A href="/wiki/County_(United_States)" title="County (United States)">counties</A> shortly thereafter.

<P>Huntington knew the railroad could transport coal eastbound from West Virginia's untapped natural resources. His agents began acquiring land in Warwick County in 1865.

<P>His next project was to develop <A href="/wiki/Northrop_Grumman_Newport_News" class="mw-redirect" title="Northrop Grumman Newport News">Newport News Shipbuilding and Drydock Company</A>, which became the world's largest shipyard.

<P>In 1958, the citizenry of the cities of Warwick and Newport News voted by referendum to consolidate the two cities, choosing to assume the better-known name of Newport News. The merger created the third largest city by population in Virginia, with a 65 square miles (168 km<SUP>2</SUP>) area.

<P>The city's original downtown area, on the <A href="/wiki/James_River_(Virginia)" class="mw-redirect" title="James River (Virginia)">James River</A> waterfront, changed rapidly from a farm trading town to a new city in the last quarter of the 19th century. Development of the railroad terminal, with its coal piers, other harbor-related facilities, and the shipyard, brought new jobs and workers to the area. Although fashionable housing and businesses developed in downtown, the increase in industry and the development of new suburbs pushed and pulled retail and residential development to the west and north after <A href="/wiki/World_War_II" title="World War II">World War II</A>. Such suburban development was aided by national subsidization of highway construction and was part of a national trend to newer housing.</P>
<P>In July 1989 the United States Navy commissioned the third naval vessel named after the city with the entry of the Los Angeles-class nuclear submarine USS NEWPORT NEWS (SSN-750), built at Newport News Shipbuilding, into active service.</P>
<P>The ship was initially commanded by CDR. Mark B. Keef; the city held a public celebration of the event, which was attended by Vice President of the United States Dan Quayle. In conjunction with this milestone, a song was written by a city native and formally adopted by Newport News City Council in July 1989. The lyrics appear with permission from the author:</P>
<BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>(First verse): Harbor of a thousand ships/Forger of a nation's fleet/Gateway to the New World/Where ocean and river meet<BR />
(Chorus): Strength wrought from steel/And a people's fortitude/Such is the timeless legacy/Of a place called Newport News<BR />
(Second verse): Nestled in a blessed land/Gifted with a special view/Forever home for ev'ry man/With a spirit proud and true<BR />

<P>The city's downtown area was part of the earliest developed area which was initially incorporated as an independent city in 1896. The earlier city portions also included the "Southeast" community, which was predominantly African-American, the "North End" and the shipyard and coal piers. After World War II, public housing projects and lower income housing were built to improve housing in what came to be known as the <A href="/wiki/East_End_(Newport_News,_Virginia)" title="East End (Newport News, Virginia)">East End</A> or "The Bottom" by locals.<SUP id="cite_ref-nntimeline_11-1" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-nntimeline-11">[11]</A></SUP> The city expanded primarily westward where land was available and highways were built. While the shipyard and coal facilities, and other smaller harbor-oriented businesses have remained vibrant, the downtown area went into substantial decline.

<P>Newport News is located in the <A href="/wiki/Humid_subtropical_climate" title="Humid subtropical climate">humid subtropical climate</A> zone, with cool to mild winters, and hot, humid summers. Due to the inland location, throughout the year, highs are 2 to 3 °F (1.1 to 1.7 °C) warmer and lows 1 to 2 °F (0.6 to 1.1 °C) cooler than areas to the southeast. Snowfall averages 5.8 inches (15 cm) per season, and the summer months tend to be slightly wetter. The geographic location of the city, with respect to the principal storm tracks, favours fair weather, as it is south of the average path of storms originating in the higher latitudes, and north of the usual tracks of hurricanes and other major tropical storms.<SUP id="cite_ref-Virginia_Hurricane_Climatology_29-0" class="reference"><A href="#cite_note-Virginia_Hurricane_Climatology-29">[29]</A></SUP></P>

<P>Newport News is served by two acute care hospitals. The largest facility is Riverside Regional Medical Center (a part of the Riverside Health System) and the second is Mary Immaculate Hospital (a part of the Bon Secours Hampton Roads Health System).</P>
<P>Riverside Hospital also known as Riverside Regional Medical Center (a Regional Referral Hospital), began serving the Virginia Peninsula community in 1916. In 1963 the Riverside Hospital was moved to the present 56-acre location in Newport News on J. Clyde Morris Boulevard in the heart of the city of Newport News. It completed a $104 million expansion and improvement project in 2011.</P>
<P>In 1952, Mary Immaculate Hospital opened its doors in the only faith-based hospital on the Peninsula. The Mary Immaculate Hospital is an acute care hospital, and was relocated to the Denbigh area of the city and offers a wide range of services, including minimally invasive surgery, orthopedic services, The Liver Institute of Virginia, and women's services.</P>
