A post office operated at Newville from 1868 to 1918.[2]
Newville was settled by J. M. Kendrick in 1854,[3] and at one time had a service station, hotel, and several businesses. Most of the town was destroyed by fire on July 22, 1929.[4] The last of Newville's original buildings was demolished in 1932.[5] By 1936, Newville was being described as a "ghost town",[6] but the name still appears on road signs in the area, and the Newville Cemetery remains active as of 2023.[7]
