== Fun facts ==
* Newton County has the second-lowest population density for all counties in East Texas, behind only Red River County, and the lowest population density in Deep East Texas.
* South Toledo Bend is a semi-popular regional getaway, fishing and vacationing destination, that reason for the most part being on the southern end of the Toledo Bend Reservoir.
* Established in 1905, Bon Wier was a stop on the Jasper and Eastern Railway which was primarily a line servicing the lumber industry. The town's name was derived from the last name of two key men who were associated with the Kirby Lumber Company, owned by John Henry Kirby. B. F. Bonner was the sawmill manager, and Robert Withrow Wier was the town surgeon. The town was established to take advantage of the timber of the region as part of the company expansion. A post office opened for the town in 1906. Logging camps would operate in the vicinity intermittently from 1918 until 1935. In 1948, the railway was acquired by the Gulf, Colorado and Santa Fe Railway. Sawmills were the key businesses for the town as late as the 1990s.
* Unfortunately, Newton County was to a certain degree a KKK hotspot years ago. While the group is mostly dead, and incidents involving them really don't occur now, racial relations in the county are still not really the best.
* Deweyville was established in 1898 as a sawmill site by the Sabine Tram Company, which had a logging operation. It was named after George Dewey, an admiral in the United States Navy who was victorious in the Battle of Manila Bay in the Spanish–American War in the Philippines that same year. Within two years a post office would be established. For a short time this town was the largest in Newton County. Electricity was installed for the residents of Deweyville in the 1920s.
