It was located on the A & V (Alabama and Vicksburg) Railroad. It was built in 1904, and later operated by the Illinois Central.[3] It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990 as the Alabama and Vicksburg Railroad Depot.[1] It is now used by the Newton Chamber of Commerce.[3]
During the American Civil War, on April 24, 1863, Federal troops under General Benjamin Grierson struck the Vicksburg-Meridian rail route, tore up tracks and burned the Newton depot.
