History

Formed in 1842 from Carroll County and Johnson County

An old deed may name a county that no longer exists, or a boundary that has since moved.

Newton County was created from Carroll and Johnson on December 14, 1842. It exchanged territory with Pope County in 1853, and again with Madison County in 1893, after losing land to Johnson and Madison counties in 1885.
