The County of Roane was erected on the 11th day of March, 1856, from parts of Jackson, Gilmer and Kanawha Counties. The original post office of Newton was established in Kanawha County on February 26, 1857. The location was in the residence of Rev. Davidson W. Ross, justice of the peace at the mouth of Dog Creek, who had suggested the name for his son, Isaac Newton, who was two years old. It was later moved to the "three forks of Sandy" where it has remained as the center of the town of Newton.

| This is a photo of Samuel Alexander Connolly of Spencer (Center). Family history has it that he saved a number of fellow coal miners by holding up a beam while they escaped a cave-in. The injuries to his back from that act were serious enough that he could no longer work the mines, so he started a saw mill. Later in life, he owned a general store near town. The identity of the other two gentlemen shown is unknown at this time. |
