History of Newtonsville
Newtonsville was first planned out on March 30, 1838. Stephen Whitaker and Cornelius Washburn created the layout for the village. A post office opened in Newtonsville in 1847. In the 1800s, the village had a gristmill (a mill for grinding grain) and a factory that made chairs. However, after World War I, many businesses in the village started to close.
Why Newtonsville Dissolved
In 2016, the Ohio State Auditor (a government official who checks how money is spent) noticed that Newtonsville was not keeping good financial records. The village was put on "fiscal caution." This means they were warned about their money problems.
Even though Newtonsville had a one-percent income tax, it still had a large debt of $112,000 by 2019. Because of this, the auditor declared a "fiscal emergency." This meant the village was in serious financial trouble.
On November 5, 2019, the people living in Newtonsville voted on a plan to dissolve the village. This meant it would no longer be its own village and would become part of Wayne Township again. The vote passed, with 53 people voting to dissolve and 46 voting against it. The dissolution officially happened on November 25, 2019. The Ohio State Auditor is helping with the process of changing Newtonsville back into a part of the township.
