Newport in GTA III, as viewed to the northwest from Callahan Bridge.

Newport is a district in the eastern area of Staunton Island, Liberty City, which has appeared in Grand Theft Auto III, Grand Theft Auto Advance and Grand Theft Auto: Liberty City Stories. It borders Torrington to the south, Fort Staunton and Liberty Campus to the north, an unnamed body of water to the east, and Belleville Park to the west.

Character

Central Newport in GTA III, as viewed to the south from the northern edge of the district.

Like much of midtown and downtown Staunton, Newport is a heavily developed district featuring a mix of densely placed lowrises and a number of large skyscrapers, including office buildings, stores and apartments. Unlike most districts in Staunton, Newport also feature up to three marina decks (two in the north; one in the southern fringe) where various drivable ships (the Reefer, Speeder and Predator) are docked for the player's taking.

In addition, Newport boasts a number of key transportation links. Crucially, the Staunton end of the Callahan Bridge terminates at Newport. Newport also features two expressways linking Newport, Fort Staunton, and Torrington; the first link being a conventionally four-lane avenue along the eastern coastline of the district, while the second link is an overpass expressway from the Newport/Fort Staunton border at the northeast edge of Newport, to the southern end of the district at the border with Torrington. It's most likely named after the Welsh city Newport, that borders Cardiff.
