Newport has been a port considering that medieval times, when the very first Newport Castle was developed by the Normans. The community outgrew the earlier Roman community of Caerleon, instantly upstream, as well as gained its very first charter in 1314. It grew dramatically in the 19th century, when its port came to be the focus of coal exports from the eastern South Wales Valleys. Until the increase of Cardiff from the 1850s, Newport was Wales' largest coal-exporting port. Newport was the site of the last large-scale armed insurrection in Britain, the Newport Climbing of 1839 led by the Chartists. This was led by the Chartist John Frost which caused the re-branding of the Duffryn High School into John Frost School. In the 20th century, the anchors declined in relevance, yet Newport remained an important production as well as design centre. It was approved city standing in 2002. Newport held the Ryder Cup in 2010 as well as was the venue for the 2014 NATO summit.
