History of Newtonsville

Newtonsville was platted on March 30, 1838, by Stephen Whitaker and Cornelius Washburn. A post office called Newtonsville has been in operation since 1847. In the 19th century, the village was home to a gristmill and chair factory. The village gradually lost business after World War I.In 2016, the Ohio State Auditor placed the village in a state of fiscal caution due to poor bookkeeping. Despite levying a one-percent income tax, Newtonsville ran a deficit of $112,000 by 2019, prompting the auditor to declare a state of fiscal emergency in the village. On November 5, 2019, residents passed an initiative to dissolve the village and return it to Wayne Township by a margin of 53 to 46. Amelia residents voted for dissolution the same day. Dissolution took effect at 10:00 AM on November 25, 2019, when the election results were certified. A transition process up to a year long was overseen by the Ohio State Auditor.1 2 Cite error: The named reference Everts was invoked but never defined (see the help page). ↑ "Clermont County".
