Newport - Newport (New Port on some maps) was born from a hurricane when fellow ghost town Port Leon, the county seat of newly formed Wakulla County, was obliterated. By October of 1843, mere weeks after the storm, many Port Leon residents had relocated further up the St. Marks River, about 3 miles north of the town of St. Marks. Only 6 months after Wakulla County's creation on March 11, 1843, there was now a 2nd county seat. Newport streets were laid out in a typical grid fashion.
