Novigrad was founded on the grounds of several villages that are known to have existed on this same land in the past- Neapolis in the Seventh century, then Civitas Nova in the Ninth century, and ancient Emona (Aemonia) in the 12th century.

Novigrad Novigrad, nekad mirno ribarsko mjestašce, postao je s godinama primamljivo odredište turistima iz čitave Europe pa i svijeta, od kojih se mnogi redovito vraćaju. Postajući jedno od najpoželjnijih mjesta turističkog boravka i odmora, Novigrad je sačuvao svoj neodoljivi šarm mirnog ribarskog gradića, onu prepoznatljivu, gotovo intimnu atmosferu, tako svojstvenu malim mediteranskim gradićima. Novigrad je upravo jedan od njih - graditeljski biser prepun povijesnih znamenitosti, bogatog kulturnog nasljeđa, sačuvanih prirodnih ljepota, ali i vrhunskih gastronomskih delicija i drugih atributa koji će boravak u gradu svakome učiniti više no ugodnim te ga nagnati da se ovdje ponovo vrati. Gradske zidine prigrlile su i sačuvale svu bogatu povijest ovoga grada, njegovu vrijednu spomeničku baštinu, tradiciju i kulturu, sve ono što čini raskošno povijesno nasljeđe grada čiji prvi pisani spomen seže čak u daleku 599. godinu. Nastao na temeljima ili u blizini nekoliko povijesnih naselja koji se spominju na ovome području - Neapolisa u 7. stoljeću, zatim Civitas Nove u 9. te drevne Emone, Aemonie, u 12. stoljeću, Novigrad je mjesto burne i bogate prošlosti.
