Newton County Bicentennial Celebration

Newton County is excited to celebrate its 200th anniversary in 2021 with events to mark the occasion throughout the year.

Newton County was created by an act of the Georgia legislature on December 24, 1821 out of pieces of what were originally Baldwin, Jasper, Walton and Henry County.

In the last 200 years, Newton County has become a leading county in Georgia in industry, tourism, small town charm and a wonderful place to live, visit and do business.

From our beginnings as a carriage stop hub and a railroad town to a thriving community with six distinctive municipalities Newton County is poised to use its rich history to move forward as #OneNewton.
