History
On December 3, 1864, a local Methodist minister and Confederate soldier named Bill Sketoe was lynched just north of Newton by local Home Guard elements led by one Captain Joseph Brear. Local legend insists that "the hole that won't stay filled" never vanished--even after being filled in numerous times during the decades that followed. At the 2000 census its population was 1,708. The city currently forms a part of the Enterprise-Ozark micropolitan statistical area.
Newton was founded in 1843 after the formation of Coffee County, Alabama County from Dale County's western half, which rendered the original county seat of Daleville, Alabama off-center. It later relocated to Ozark, where it continues to be published today.
