Origin of Newport Hamlet at Newhouse Minnesota
In Newhouse Minnesota a small hamlet grew around a 1879 grain elevator and railroad station built by the Chicago Clinton Dubuque and Minnesota line. The line later passed to the Chicago Milwaukee and St Paul road in 1880. A store opened, failed, and a post office operated with Ole Nelson as first postmaster. The town name shifted from Newport to Newhouse to avoid confusion, honoring Ole T. Nyhus near the station and elevator site.
