Newport News () is an independent city in the Commonwealth of Virginia in the United States. At the 2020 census, the population was 186,247. Located in the Hampton Roads region, it is the fifth-most populous city in Virginia and 140th-most populous city in the United States. Newport News is included in the Hampton Roads metropolitan area. It is at the southeastern end of the Virginia Peninsula, on the northern shore of the James River extending southeast from Skiffe's Creek along many miles of waterfront to the river's mouth at Newport News Point on the harbor of Hampton Roads. Most of the area now known as Newport News was once a part of Warwick County. Warwick County was one of the eight original shires of Virginia, formed by the House of Burgesses in the British Colony of Virginia by order of King Charles I in 1634. In 1881, fifteen years of rapid development began under the leadership of Collis P. Huntington, whose new Peninsula Extension of the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway from Richmond opened up means of transportation along the Peninsula and provided a new pathway for the railroad to bring West Virginia bituminous coal to port for coastal shipping and worldwide export. With the new railroad came a terminal and coal piers where the colliers were loaded. Within a few years, Huntington and his associates also built a large shipyard. In 1896, the new incorporated town of Newport News, which had briefly replaced Denbigh as the seat of Warwick County, had a population of 9,000. In 1958, by mutual consent by referendum, Newport News was consolidated with the former Warwick County (itself a separate city from 1952 to 1958), rejoining the two localities to approximately their pre-1896 geographic size. The more widely known name of Newport News was selected as they formed what was then Virginia's third largest independent city in population.With many residents employed at the expansive Newport News Shipbuilding, the joint U.S. Air Force–Army installation at Joint Base Langley–Eustis, and other military bases and suppliers, the city's economy is very connected to the military. The location on the harbor and along the James River facilitates a large boating industry which can take advantage of its many miles of waterfront. Newport News also serves as a junction between the rails and the sea with the Newport News Marine Terminals located at the East End of the city. Served by major east–west Interstate Highway 64, it is linked to other cities of Hampton Roads by the circumferential Hampton Roads Beltway, which crosses the harbor on two bridge-tunnels. Part of the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport is in the city limits.

Port Warwick is a new project located in the Oyster Point area in Newport News, Virginia. It is a mixed-use new urbanism development built upon a 150-acre (0.61 km2) parcel. Port Warwick is a pedestrian-oriented community and the second-largest planned community in Newport News other than Kiln Creek. Residents can walk from home to their workplace, shops, and restaurants, or they can make a short drive of several miles to the city’s main shopping and office areas. Not far from Port Warwick is the new Oyster Point City Center, another bustling central business district in Oyster Point. It is very similar to Port Warwick, with office space and a pedestrian-friendly environment. The entrance of Port Warwick is located at the intersection of Jefferson Avenue and Loftis Boulevard, the main thoroughfare in the development. On one corner is a village of business that are located at the front. The buildings have an architecture that fits in with the theme of an old town feel that is at the core of Port Warwick. The other corner is the Sentara Port Warwick Medical Arts campus, which houses several specialty medical practices and an emergency care center. It is named after the fictional city in William Styron's novel, Lie Down in Darkness. The streets are named after historical authors. Port Warwick has been designed to be a unique high quality neighborhood, having the feel of an older, established traditional inner city area, such as the Fan District in Richmond or Old Town Alexandria[1]. Many of the streets and squares are named after American literary figures from the 19th and 20th centuries. The names that were chosen were "a reflection of personal learning", said Styron, since the number of places were limited. He believes that the names chosen "represent the best in the great flowering of American literary art". Styron square is in the center of Port Warwick, which will be designed similar to squares found in London, England. Around Styron Square are blocks of mixed-use buildings, all of which will overlook the square. These buildings will have retail and commercial space on the ground floor and on the upper floors will have residential space. The retail space is called "The Shoppes at Port Warwick", and is the first luxury retail shopping and dining district on the Virginia Peninsula. A pavilion located in the center of the square is the stage for community events. The residential area will have a mix of single-family detached residences, Duplex Village and Carriage homes and town homes located around 4 residential squares and a public sculpture. All will be constructed out of brick, with floor-to-ceiling windows throughout the house. Most residences will overlook the residential squares, and the streets will be located on city blocks, like an old town city. There are also two luxury apartment buildings with one, two and three bedroom apartments that are elegantly decorated. They are a first on the Virginia Peninsula. A first in all of Eastern Virginia, The Melville, located on Styron Square, houses some of the most luxurious condominiums in all of the state. The condominiums are located inside a four-story building in Styron Square, with some of the most distinctive and architecturally significant buildings on the Peninsula. The condominiums will have two to three bedrooms, custom kitchens, spacious closets, oversized windows, and large balconies. Public art is prominently showcased in Port Warwick, with five statues within the development. The art and architecture help generate its old town-feel. Located right in the heart of Oyster Point, there is access to three interchanges of Interstate 64 within two miles (3 km) of Port Warwick, as well as access to bus service and the Newport News/Williamsburg International Airport. The project has won several awards, such as "Best New Community - 2002" from the Peninsula Homebuilders Association, and "Virginia Citizen Planner of the Year" for Bobby Freeman, the designer, from the Virginia Citizen’s Planner Association of Charlottesville, Virginia.

The Mariners' Lake is a reservoir which was created as part of the natural park on the grounds of the Mariners' Museum and Park located in the independent city of Newport News in the Hampton Roads region of southeastern Virginia. The museum was founded in 1932 by Archer Milton Huntington, son of Collis P. Huntington, a railroad builder who brought the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to Warwick County, Virginia, and who founded the City of Newport News, its coal export facilities, and Newport News Shipbuilding in the late 19th century. Archer and his wife, the sculptor Anna Hyatt Huntington, acquired 800 acres (3.2 km2) of land that would come to hold 61,000 square feet (5,700 m2) of exhibition galleries, a research library, a 167-acre (676,000 m2) lake, a five-mile (8 km) shoreline trail with fourteen bridges, and over 35,000 maritime artifacts from around the globe. After acquisition took place, the first two years were devoted to creating and improving a natural park and constructing a dam to create a lake that the Board of Trustees named "Lake Maury", after the nineteenth-century Virginian Commodore Matthew Fontaine Maury, who was nicknamed the "Father of Modern Oceanography". The Museum's collection is of an international scope and includes 35,000 artifacts. There are 10 permanent galleries, changing and traveling exhibits, and virtual galleries available through the museum website. The Mariners' Museum is home to the U.S.S. Monitor Center, which officially opened on March 9, 2007, and includes display of a full-scale replica of the ironclad warship Monitor, the original recovered turret, and many artifacts and related items. The famous Union ironclad USS Monitor fought the Confederate ironclad CSS Virginia in the Battle of Hampton Roads in March 1862 during the American Civil War. On June 19, 2020, during the George Floyd protests, as references to Confederate figures were being removed from names, The Mariners' Museum's board of trustees voted to rename the lake from "Lake Maury" to "The Mariners' Lake".
