About Newton

Located right along Interstate 20 in east-central Mississippi, Newton is a quiet, friendly town where everyday life moves at an easy pace. The town grew as a bustling railroad hub, and that history still shapes the community today, from its classic brick downtown to the restored 1904 train depot. Residents appreciate the affordable cost of living, close-knit neighborhood feel, and quick trips to nearby Turkey Creek Water Park for fishing and camping. Positioned conveniently between Jackson and Meridian, it gives you genuine small-town living with regional hubs within a short drive.
