Newton, Iowa, located 34 miles east of Des Moines, is a small town with a rich history and diverse economy.

The Newton Housing Initiative encourages new home developments with cash incentives. The city has five parks, including Maytag Park, which hosts the public pool and Fred Maytag Bowl. Other attractions include Westwood Golf Course, Newton Arboretum & Botanical Gardens, and Iowa Speedway for Nascar and IndyCar races. The downtown area, anchored by the Jasper County Courthouse, offers various pubs, restaurants, and bars.
