Newton

Newton occupies a prairie setting along the North Skunk River in central Iowa. As the seat of Jasper County, it serves as a civic and commercial centre for the surrounding farming country, with a traditional downtown anchored by the Jasper County Courthouse. The city was long identified with Maytag, the appliance manufacturer founded here in 1893; its industrial legacy remains an important part of local identity. Nearby Iowa Speedway has also brought major motor-racing events to the area. Place Newton in the wider central-Iowa setting by browsing webcams nearby.
