Newton is Cache Valley's smallest town, with just 845 residents living in a genuinely remote and rural setting. Settled in 1869 on the west side of Cache Valley, Newton has maintained a farming and ranching character that few other communities have preserved. The handful of Medicare residents here chose Newton for complete isolation from urban life, mountain views in every direction, and a pace of life that operates on a genuinely different clock than anywhere else in the state. Little Mountain rises dramatically to the northeast at 5,593 feet, dominating the landscape. Closer to town, the Bear River provides water and natural features. This is living in a place where you know everyone and where your daily routine centers on the natural environment, not commercial services.
