History

The village got its start in 1851 when the Great Western Railway was built through the area. The first house built was located south of the railroad in 1851 by Robert Thompson. [4] The settlement was originally known as Ward's Station, but was renamed in 1854 after the namesake town in England since most of the residents were of English and Irish origin. That same year, the post office opened with Robert Thompson as first postmaster. [5]

By 1872, Newbury's population had reached 750 people. The following year it was incorporated as a village. During those early years, Newbury had a flourmill, seven hotels, three churches, a school, library, fire hall, and a basket factory. [5] In January 1873, Newbury’s first council was elected. [6]

In 1967, the Four Counties General Hospital opened, followed by the Newbury Medical Clinic in 1972. [5]
