Newbern is an unincorporated community in Pulaski County, in the U.S. state of Virginia. From 1839 until the courthouse burned in 1892, Newbern was the county seat of Pulaski County.

A large share of the early settlers being natives of Switzerland caused the name Newbern, after Bern, Switzerland, to be selected. The Newbern Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.

Adam Hance began the town of Newbern in 1810, where the Wilderness Road or "Great road" passed directly through his grant of 1,400 acres. This holding was approximately halfway between Christiansburg and Wytheville, Virginia. His home is located in the Newbern Historic District.

Climate
