Jasper County was formed in 1838. It was named for Sgt. William Jasper, a famous scout for the Continental Army during the
American Revolutionary War. Jasper became famous in 1776, during the bombardment of Fort Moultrie, for erecting a new flagstaff
under fire after the American flag had been shot down. Jasper was killed during the Siege of Savannah in 1779.
The original Newton County was formed by statute on February 7, 1835, and was a roughly square area some 30 miles on a side,
encompassing what is now the northern half of the county, the northern half of Jasper County, and a large sections to the north.
The northern border was cut back to the Kankakee River on February 1, 1836, with all land north of the Kankakee River going to
Lake and Porter counties. The county was abolished and combined with Jasper County in 1839. On December 8, 1859 the county
was recreated and the borders were redrawn to essentially their current state.
Newton County is named after Sgt. John Newton, who served under Gen. Francis Marion, the "Swamp Fox", in the American
Revolutionary War. It is adjacent to Jasper County, which was named after Sgt. William Jasper, whose story is similar. At least four
other states, Georgia, Mississippi, Missouri and Texas, have adjacent Jasper and Newton Counties, as though these
two were remembered as a pair.
Newton County was the last county to be organized in Indiana.
