Soon after Jamestown was founded in 1607, English settlers began exploring and settling around Hampton Roads. In 1610 Sir Thomas Gates seized a nearby Native village, which became Kecoughtan, and settlers cleared land for plantations along the James River, including the area of Newport News. In 1619 it became part of Elizabeth Cittie, one of the Virginia Company's four great corporations. When the colony, then about 5,000 people, was divided into eight shires in 1634, the area became part of Warwick River Shire, renamed Warwick County in 1637. Its first courthouse stood at Warwick Town near Denbigh Plantation.
Newport News stayed a rural area of plantations and a small fishing village until after the Civil War. The modern city was essentially founded by Collis P. Huntington, one of the Big Four of the Central Pacific Railroad, who was recruited by the former Confederate general Williams Carter Wickham to invest in a Southern railroad. Huntington helped finish the Chesapeake and Ohio Railway to the Ohio River in 1873 and saw that it could carry West Virginia coal east. His agents began buying land in Warwick County in 1865, and in the 1880s he built the C&O's Peninsula line from Richmond through Williamsburg to Newport News, with coal piers on Hampton Roads. On October 19, 1881, the first train left Lee Hall Depot for the Yorktown centennial celebration. Huntington next founded the Chesapeake Dry Dock and Construction Company, known from 1890 as Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry Dock. Sources Wikipedia: Newport News, Virginia
