About Me

The Town of Newton, New Hampshire lies in the southern part of Rockingham County, partially bordered by Massachusetts. With a population of approximately 4,500 people, Newton is nearly 10 square miles in size, and has more than 42 road miles. Originally part of Amesbury, Massachusetts and then South Hampton, New Hampshire, Newton officially became a town in 1749.
In 1921, when the Newton Police Department was established, there were no police cruisers and no police station. Officers dispatched emergency calls from their homes, and used their own personal vehicles to respond to these calls and make routine patrols throughout the town.
Today the Newton Police Department is housed in the Old Post Office building at 2 Amesbury Road. The department currently has 5 full-time officers, 14 part-time officers, 2 administrative employees, 1 Animal Control Officer and 6 cruisers.
Although primarily a bedroom community today, Newton was once known for the production of the Hayford carriage. This carriage remains a symbol of the town to this date.
