In 1887, John Bartholomew's Gazetteer of the British Isles described Newhaven like this:
Newhaven, fishing town and quoad sacra par., North Leith par., Edinburghshire, on Firth of Forth, 1 mile W. of Leith and 2½ miles N. of Edinburgh by rail, pop. 4694; P.O., T.O., 1 Bank. Its tidal harbour was reconstructed in 1876-1877 at a cost of £10,000.
Newhaven is now part of EDINBURGH CITY OF City. Click here for graphs and data of how EDINBURGH CITY OF has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Newhaven itself, go to Statistics.
