Since 2020, Newbury Township has been part of the West Geauga High School after executing a territory transfer at the end of the 2019-20 academic year. Prior to that, Newbury High School was the last school in Geauga County to cover only one township—prior to that, the only townships operating their own schools were Claridon, Troy, and Burton townships, who joined in 1968 to form Berkshire High School.
The first known human inhabitants of the Township were the Seneca People, who lived in Newbury until they were forcibly removed to Indian Territory in Oklahoma in the 1830s. Newbury Township was part of the Connecticut Western Reserve until 1786, making it part of the State of Connecticut for a period of time.
