== Fun facts ==
* Politically, Newton County is powerfully Republican in most elections.
* Many of the smaller settlements within the county are extensions of Joplin.
* Diamond is primarily renowned as the birthplace of George Washington Carver.
* Loma Linda village itself, a collection of homes and properties surrounding the golf course and country club of the name, was incorporated in 1995. Loma Linda Country Club was created by Joe Blau of New York and the late Ted Hoffman in 1971. Until August 2005, the golf professional at Loma Linda was Benny Pell.
* Newtonia has some Antebellum houses, such as the Ritchey Mansion, as well as a cemetery for Civil War dead.
* The Newton County Electric Mills are located east of Diamond.
* Stella is known for its Pokemon center being one of two space-themed architecture-wise in Missouri, the other being in Neosho.
* In August 1956, an outbreak of typhoid fever occurred in Monark Springs during a national Church of God camp meeting that had over 400 members from other states as far west as California and east to Kentucky, attending. The cases continued to spread outside of the town after the meeting, with 16 reported cases cropping up in various parts of Missouri and Kansas. CDC officials were sent to the camp site to investigate the water in the area, in order to determine the exact source of the outbreak. It was eventually discovered that a carrier of typhoid fever had unknowingly contaminated the water in the well that had been used as drinking water for the entire camp site.
* The county was the site of countless wild Pokemon raids between 1964 and 1970.
* On August 7, 2012, residents of the Village of Silver Creek and the City of Joplin voted to consolidate and become part of the city of Joplin.
