Newtown is a town of surprises. The first impression is a quiet, picturesque country town nestled on sixty square miles of rolling hills. But Newtown is much more than a beautiful place to live. The expression "quality of life" is more than a cliché in Newtown. It's a place where one can have country living with cosmopolitan ideas, peaceful seclusion or complete involvement; a town that offers opportunities for both growing families and elderly citizens. Our town is an all encompassing community: quality education that offers unique opportunities for all of its students; cultural programs that teach, and those that satisfy the senses; recreational facilities that entice every enthusiast; community activities that help others, and those that are just for fun; houses of worship that represent many faiths to the community; and a government that seeks the citizen's involvement.
