Newtown and the Newtown Cemetery

The Newtown Cemetery retains the name of a gold mining community called, Newtown, which dates back to 1849 and was located a mile north of the town of Buckeye. The nearby Newtown Road also preserves the name as well. People still live in the area and this community was located in the Buckeye Mining District. The cemetery was established in the 1850’s. The first interments were members of the Cahow family.
