As of the 2010 census, the population was 21,720.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/28/28101.html )〕 Its county seat is Decatur.〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=2011-06-07 )〕 ==History== Newton County was formed in 1836, and was named in honor of Sir Isaac Newton. Newton County is adjacent to Jasper County, which was named for Sgt. William Jasper, a Revolutionary War hero of the Siege of Savannah in 1779. Sgt. John Newton had a very similar history. Early in the 1800s, many places were named for these men. At least four other states, Georgia, Indiana, Missouri and Texas, have adjacent Jasper and Newton Counties. At least two states, Illinois and Iowa, have Newton as the county seat of Jasper County. In Arkansas, Jasper is the county seat of Newton County. The frequency of occurrence of these names in juxtaposition shows that the stories of Sgts. Jasper and Newton were widely known, and associated with each other at the time these counties were named.
