'''Newport''' is a district in the eastern area of [[Staunton Island]], [[Liberty City in GTA III Era|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 north, [[Fort Staunton]] and [[Liberty Campus]] to the south, an unnamed body of water to the east, and [[Belleville Park]] to the west.

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.

Newport boasts multiple landmarks, interactive or otherwise. Among them, the Staunton [[Ammu-Nation]], a [[Pay 'n' Spray]] automobile paint shop and one of [[8-Ball|8-Ball's]] [[8-Ball Autos|bomb shop]] among a row of garage-based business, an unnamed Newport shopping mall, the [[Newport Multistory Car Park]], and an unnamed civic building with Federal architecture (dubbed[[City Hall (Liberty City III)|"City Hall"]] by the official website of GTA III; located on the southern edge of Newport, just south of Callahan Bridge).

[[Asuka Kasen's Condo]] in GTA III and Toni Cipriani's [[Staunton Island Safehouse (GTA LCS)|Staunton Island safehouse]] in GTA Liberty City Stories are also situated within Newport.
