Newhaven is a port town situated at the mouth of the River Ouse in East Sussex, England. The town developed around its harbor, which has been an important trading point since the 16th century. Originally named Meeching, the town was renamed Newhaven when a new harbor was built in the 19th century.
The town played a significant role during World War II as a defense point and departure location for the Dieppe Raid. Today, Newhaven maintains its maritime heritage while serving as a ferry port with regular services to Dieppe, France.
The town features historical attractions including the Newhaven Fort, built in the 1860s as part of the Victorian coastal defense system, which now serves as a museum showcasing local military history. The area's industrial heritage and coastal location have influenced its cultural development, with several historical buildings and maritime-related cultural sites reflecting its longtime connection to the sea.
