Newport, RI: Oldest Known Photographs (Pre-1923) “Fifth Largest City in US 1776” + Star Fort, Trade

- Howdy ya’ll. I was recently reading about the largest cities in Colonial America before the first census [which occurred officially in 1790]. According to the mainstream narrative, in 1776, Newport, Rhode Island, was the 5th largest city in America, by population.
I decided to dive into the history of Newport, and what I found not only goes hand in hand with the history of nearby Providence, Rhode Island (of which I’ve made an earlier video), but Newport actually appears to have played a very key role in the history of early America, and it had a STAR FORT.
Today we will look at the oldest photographs of Newport, Rhode Island, while discussing the currently accepted narrative.

Awesome information! I live in RI. Newport is 15 minutes away. Narragansett (Towers) you show at 3:38 I pass it daily. There are more buildings with similar design and construction down the road. There is a castle still standing with a watchtower etc at 333 Ocean Rd (can’t make this stuff up) keep up the great work and thank you!
How about the church at Scarborough
I am from Jamestown, lived in Newport for years, Block Island, travel all over the country, and currently live in Providence. I appreciate this. Thank you!
RI resident here, nice to see the littlest state get some recognition
I did a book report in school because of that.
This is so much easier to watch and listen to. Your speech and presentation is stellar. Non distracting background music. Can't wait for the next addition. Thank you sir!
Always. You have the respect of the scientific community. Was in Charleston yesterday. Massive mood flooded.
Once one is educated , one can see it world wide.
Blessings Mr. Boosters

What a great video! I was in the U.S. Navy, and spent quite a bit of time in Newport R.I. It's amazing to me how many things looked familiar to me, even though I was first there in 1990. That architecture really stands the test of time.
I'm born and and raised in providence, rhode island. Great work my friend.
I live right there in Newport born and raised on this island. And randomly found your video. Thank you so much for this video! A lot of those places are still there. And the slave thing. I believe it. There is a tunnel right under broadway and it leads to the ocean. I believe the tunnel used to lead out to near where battery park is today. We also have an African burial ground here. It’s sad what they did to our friends ancestors. You did put lots of work into this video and it’s appreciated and I will share this. Thank you so much for this video! There’s also a lot of creepy old Victorian houses and such. I’d love for another video.
SLAVERY NEVER EXISTED...
@whatareyoudoing7158 intresting. What proof? It sure seems like slavery to this governmental system.
I'm also from Newport and have always been aware of the deep rich and interesting history of the city. It's a beautiful place full of God made and made beauty. It's still very much a dichotomy of the very wealthy and very poor living feet away from each other. Though I've now lived in a few other RI towns, Newport has a unique feel for sure!
Thank you for keeping your channel ad free!
Funny. I just had to watch 2 15 second ads. No problem -- I just mute the sound.
Do you believe his content isn’t worth payment? Would you work for free ?

Newport has some of the most incredible houses. I grew up on long Island so I've seen some amazing homes, but Newport is special. Real aristocratic taste.
What is aristocratic
@@grahamgreen8283 Belonging to or typical of the Aristocracy. Hope that helps.
Awesome video! Im 44 and lived there 44 years. It was cool to hear some new info.
Wow Jarid, I have an entirely new perspective on the great state of Rhode Island. Thank you for the great production, as each one you do I am learning so much. In time we are going to figure out what exactly New England was before the Dutch & the English became the boss. Have a good weekend.
Fellow RI’er here. Loved the video and the history. Thank you for your time to make this. I love watching videos about the history of this state!
Native Newporter here. I love seeing people bring the history of Newport to life. It's astounding to me how little the people of Newport, the neighboring Middletown and Portsmouth know about our islands history. A couple important pieces of history that were left out of the video are that Newport was where Rhode Island was the first colony to declare independence from the English Crown. Also, in Newport the legislature was the last to sign the Declaration of Independence. Refusing to do so until a Bill of Rights was included.
A bill of rights were in the Declaration? I didn't know that. I thought that was the stuff of constitutions. Thanks,
also RI was the first to abolish slavery... i think 1838!
Hey check out those cracker Jack sailors! Fun fact, if you look at the Civil War sailors of America and the World War I sailors of the Deutschland Empire... they look like twinsies 🧐
The Vanderbilts' homes in Newport, RI are mindblowing. I have walked through all them. Pictures don't do them any justice. Kinda hard to imagine a house made of marble until you walk through it.
'Ports mith'...Newport took a huge hit when the Navy decided to move the Destroyer Base there in the early 1970s to Norfolk, Va....
Nice video. I was born at the former Newport Naval Base Hospital as my father was career Navy and lived most of my life in Bristol a few towns over as this is where my maternal Italian immigrant family settled. I had the opportunity many years ago to work as a Newport city tour guide as well as a tour guide at the Breakers mansion the former summer home of the Cornelius Vanderbilt family. Few people are aware that although the Breakers is no longer owned by the Vanderbilt family, upon it being handed over to the Preservation Society the Cornelius Vanderbilt family which the late Gloria and her son Anderson Cooper are from were able to maintain residential rights to a top floor apartment in the mansion that was originally the maids quarters. The descendents of those indentured Irish maids that lived in that Breakers apartment still live in Newport in the 5th Ward section of the city which is why Newport still has a very strong and proud Irish presence. For those who have never been to Newport this city should be considered for a visit as there is much to see and do there.
Tell me the Breakers mansion was the location for satanic rituals, without telling me the Breakers mansion...
I think ending listing of one's questions is semi-adorable but has charming naivete about it too...there's just a single, one syllable answer to said list: cash. Love your channel man!
I grew up in Providence. Hung out in Newport in summer and westerly.
A genuine history lesson. You Sir rock again'':]
Hi Jarid. I grew up in Newport. I appreciate your review of its history. Thank you.
I recently saw photos of Hearst Castle and I'm pretty sure Hearst was an 'inheritor' not a 'builder'of the castle...I remember hearing Cary Grant's accounts of traveling the rough roads to get to the castle (in which he was a frequent guest). Sounds impossible to ship materials to the site which held an estate of such grandeur. You may have covered the Hearst Castle already, but I am seeing many ancient architecture with new eyes
Making up ignorant stories doesn't equate to actual history. Anyone with a brain cell knows who built it and when, just because ignorant dupes can't do research doesn't mean the facts don't exist.
@@davidcollin1436 believe whatever you may wish...why are you even on this channel?....shhh...go back to sleep
Hurst Castle is beautiful. In a georgous rolling hills landscape looking like another time.
Heavy materials would’ve been airlifted by the massive dirigibles (air ships) of the past - possibly …
@@keiththompson2172 I agree their was technology that allowed them to get the job done during an earlier civilization...the narrative that the time frame they said this Hearst Castle was built only afforded horse and buggy technology and a lack of a large truly skilled work force being 'miles' away from a main city that could house such a work force
thanks for making this video jarid, im born and raised in Pawtucket, RI and its great to see our history from your lense.
are any of these pics from RI? i don't trust this channel
I like the history you have included in the old photos of the Arch -itechture the arches and the old turrets and other things are so interesting everywhere in the world - most people would not realise the connection everywhere
I loved this video. I'm a 51 year old Rhode Islander. To be more exact, I'm from Narragansett, RI. I love the Narragansett Tower photos in the video.
I'm a ri native, and do lots of pools in Newport. Looking forward to seeing this video I'll comment after watching
Everyone had their head covered. Thanks Jarid.
Ya that's with all the old pic .
Everyone has a hat on .
But I'm sure it is because they all came from underneath.
Perhaps the sun was stronger than now
@DaVinci Danielson the difference between this comment and the one directly below you is absolutely hilarious. With that being said, im totally With you.
I miss the old Newport. The city today is nothing like the city in the 60s where I grew up.
I love living in Newport so much. I have a house down the street from the oldest tavern in America, the White Horse Tavern.
We have many questions of our history, the more questions we have, it seems the deeper we go, the deeper we go, the more questions . . . your site helps in understanding that journey.
Nice one! Check out Perrysburg, Ohio history... good old Oliver Perry has a statue on our Maumee river by Fort Meigs.
Toledo was our bicycle manufacturer until those buildings became used for auto manufacturing including the most famous Willys/Jeep.
Thanks for your videos ❤️
That's an interesting area.
Positive Energy And Love To You And Your Family. Thank You For Your Love And Gifts Of Knowledge 🥰🤗🎺🌈⛲
Hey! Great video. The towers at the end are on mainland Rhode Island in Narragansett and now called The Towers. I’ve always called it the Coast Guard house which seems silly but it was after the restaurant located there. Really liked your video, very informative!
Grew up there in the 60s and 70s. A must visit.
I thoroughly enjoyed this presentation thank you very much I appreciate your time and effort
I'm dutch Jared, Rhode came from the Dutch word ROOD, wich means RED. A Dutchman would say: Het rode eiland. Wich means red island, but the peoples would hear phonetically: Rhode Island..
But maybe this language all stems from Frisia, the old Frisland, FRIESLAND (Dutch) an island near Groenland (greenland) and erased from newer maps..
Wonder why? They we're pirates/phoenicians?..
The VOC had a total wealth of 7.9 (top of my head) TRILLION in de 17th century.. That was more than the half of the world. ONE little 'country' called the Netherlands...
Compared to the days of now they would have more than google, amazon and apple combined!!
I dono, my two cents. Love your video's!
Interessant inderdaad, want Rhode klinkt hetzelfde als Rood wat betekent dat er daar toen nog Nederlands werd gesproken. Ook zag ik in het begin van deze video op de oude kaart een plaatsje genaamd Middleburg, zoals ons Middelburg. Nederlanders zaten ook overal, hè?
Fantastic content, reconnecting us with our unknown ancestors. Truly appreciate the way you structure your videos, leading one to the right questions, and to trust in our our own research, intuition, and exploration 🙏🌏📚 One Love 🫶
Wow just fascinating. I love the way you present this history. I want to go there.
First time to watch your work MR. BOOSTERS. Amazing work, I hope you reach your goal of 100,000.
Great video, keep them coming !
Beautiful. Thank you so much.
Lived in Newport all my life. Thanks for doing this video
Great work, thank you 🙏
Thank you for the great content Jared. Definitely all built by a different humanity. I hope our humanity will be free to reach our potential one day soon. These controllers go through great lengths to keep us uninformed but there are signs they will not get away with this much longer. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Newport’s granite building stone came from Maine.
Great video!!
I'm glad that doing what you do is one of your favorite things to do! We like what you do too! (I feel like Dr Seuss) Great presentation, as usual. Cheers
BEAUTIFUL "PROVIDENCE" TO "NEWPORT/RHODE ISLAND"
AND ALSO "NANTUCKET ISLAND" 💛
A beautiful Island with great Architecture... I visited in 2002
Thank you for sharing this Video, it brings back many beautiful Memories.
I live in south Kingstown ri and u can see amazing places around here
So beautiful so many peices bought together ❤️
16:30 looks like my hometown near nuremberg in bavaria. For a moment i was wondering what exactly i am looking right now ^^
Thank you great video
thank you. really enjoyable.
Great video! I live here in Newport and loved learning a few new things. Most I knew and most of the places you showed and talked about I've been to. As for the structures being the same, I'm guessing Free Mason's.
Loved this video man!
Appreciate it Jaydin. Thank you my friend
I quickly deleted my comment noting the casino pictures in Narragansett.
Excellent video, and thank you for shedding some historical light on our little state.
My pleasure!
Fabulous Video! Tartarian History being Revealed . Ley Line
Do your thing Jarid
18:00 this is Narragansett not Newport , I know this since this building still stands in my home town haha Pretty crazy , awesome video
newport is about 20 min from Narragansett
The stone medieval looking arched towers building (a casino at one time which in large part is now gone) you show a great deal of is actually on the opposite side of the bay in Narragansett. One picture has another stone building with an anchor relief carving on it next to the towers. That was indeed the United States Life Saving Service built in the early 1800's (now known as the US Coast Guard) and is now The Coast Guard House restaurant.
Excellent 👍🏼👍🏼
💚thanks Jarid💐
Best channel on YT.
2:53 That windmill is in Jamestown (Next to Newport) and is still running. Possibly the oldest in the US?
fascinating-I never knew about the trading rum for slaves - doing family history research I found an ancestor or 2 from RI and thought it was odd since most came from NC,Mass,SC ,VA and Ga with a couple from NY and a few Tuscarora and Pawmunkey-The Baptist connection is probably the clue since Protestants seem to be the vast majority of my family back in the day-I love the photos and your presentation and appreciate your work
I saw Norwalk, CT mentioned on one list here. Born there, I would love to see you cover Norwalk
TY Jared 🧱❤️💪💯
I'm a brand new subscriber as of January 12th I just wanted to thank you for the great work of the video I really enjoyed it. I work in Providence Rhode Island and I live in Massachusetts so I'm familiar with this area quite well it sounds like you're from this area to is that correct?
Thanks 👍🤗
Grew up in South Kingstown about 20 min away , very cool area
So much was missed... I still loved your video. Mill tower has a Roman arch..some think it was templars... look up fort adams... the great Gatsby was right before the American revolution....
This is where Australia won the Americas cup back in 1983.
I like your videos, but could you turn down the background music a bit? At least when you are speaking. Thanks. (Oh, and only 46.8K subs to go!)
Lived in RI most of my life. Interesting video but the last few minutes of the stone arch of the highway is Narragansett not Newport but you may of know that. Nice job.
Some of the cities you wouldn't expect to find the oldest synagogues in America, are in places like Newport Rhode Island, Savannah Georgia, Charleston South Carolina, Richmond Virginia, New Orleans Louisiana. The thing that all these places have in common, is they were major slave ports/slave trading markets
😎👍
I’m from little compton and I go to Newport for work all the time. My girlfriend works there too it’s a lot of peoples’ backyard.
Anu-Port! I am glad they learned to plant Trees!
My family came from Italy in the 1930's and we have been here ever since. I live in Johnston, which full of italians. I love everything about this state, except that it is way too populated....
That's intersting starting off with the Baptists, then controlled by the French. When you said the Irish came in after 1800s I was like ah. And Newport is very Irish now have the Saint Patricks day parade and bars.
There are 3 cities or towns on Aquidneck Island
Newport /Middletown/Portsmouth
@17:01 that's a photo taken from Narragansett RI , not Newport
Rhode Island name means: A "Rhode" or Rode is a boat or schooner's anchor line. Rhode Island most likely means an island you can safely anchor behind to get out on the incoming ocean swells. It helps to have grown up on Cape Cod and be a lifelong boat person and history geek. Both my Mother's and Father's families were 1630s Massachusetts settlers.
Born and raised!
I have heard of Benedict Arnold but did not know the history
Yes my parents house was built in 1790 by a contractor from Newport
i really think those populations were only accounting for a specific people…it’s kinda hard to imagine all of the architecture during those times being built by so few people…what was the purpose? perhaps there was already a thriving population…who knows, lol…
That seems to be part of our hidden history
💪🏽🙏🏽☝🏽
💪💪💪💯💯💯
I am going to take issue with your statement that, “Families like the Onassises and the Kennedys with family histories both tying back to the old China Trade and also heavily involved in later years in Newport’s lavish history. John F. and Jackie even married in Newport’s Hammersmith Farm mansion.” (13:30)
NEITHER family had a history in Newport and neither family had any involvement in the China Trade. The Kennedy wedding in 1953 took place at St. Mary's Church, not Hammersmith Farm. That is where the reception was held and only because Jackie's mother's (Janet Lee Bouvier) second husband was Hugh D. Auchincloss Jr.
Beyond that, the Kennedy family had had zero presence in Newport and the Onassis family even less.
Well, when you say how it was build on things we don't do anymore, like whale oil, and shipping trade.. those things go away. All the people in CT went west after the war of 1812. there's a westerward migration in 1814-15. and that dark period, year without summer. that's how the western half of NY and PA were settled. All the place names are in french, pronounced by english/irish/swedes/dutch. Check out the kinzua reservoir. johnny cash wrote a song about that one.
Could you provide a source credit to your music used? would be awesome! just like your videoo
@3:35, check out the tall poles with horizontal bars,with no visible wires attached to them. Free atmospheric energy devices? Also check out the odd U.S. flag to the front left and a different U.S. flag flying atop the house at right center. Wth?
Have you heard of the Red brick pathways and caverns they found in the grand canyon
I'm guessing a couple ppl own the entire state, and don't want things to change.
Funny cuz our coastline isn't red. A few of the cliffs off of Jamestown have a pink hue, maybe that is what they meant. I did find a vein of pink clay at Sachuest Point which I actually was able to mold and fire. I've spent 50 years living on the Bay there but now divide my time between there and New Bedford. Two totally different cities, nonetheless historically the two main historical ports of Southeastern New England. I find New Bedford has even more amazing municipal historic architecture than Newport, and the drivers are much friendlier except for when they are not.
Nothing makes New Englanders happier than hearing others, try and pronounce our cities towns, islands, and structures. Examples: call, Aquidneck island… pronounced a-kidneck… Portsmouth… pronounced pronounced ports muth..
Otherwise nicely done
One of the reasons the population census is so low is a lot of the homes there are now summer homes . City is JAM PACKED during the summer months.
Many people have moved here since 2020. It is still packed here more than I have ever seen in any winter and I have been here since the 1980's. If you understand what is really going on in this world, I can tell you lots of strange things going on around here.
