History

[edit]
Parish church

In 1805, the geographic township of Newton was created, likely named after Newton Abbot in England.[1] Sainte-Justine-de-Newton was also named after Justine de Padoue.[5]

In 1845, the Township Municipality of Newton was formed, but abolished in 1847. In 1855, it was reestablished as the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Justine-de-Newton, combining the names of the parish and the geographic township. In 1865, its post office opened.[1]

In 2008, the parish municipality changed its statutes to become a (regular) municipality.[1]
