| Newton, known as the Garden City, is located six miles west of Boston. It
lies within the so-called Boston Basin, a tiny structure of the Appalachian
Mountain Range. Originally a part of Cambridge, Newton was settled in 1630
and incorporated in 1688 with the first settlement in Newton Corner. The
Boston and Worcester Railroads established depots at what later became
Newtonville and Auburndale in 1834.
Newton is bounded on three sides by the Charles River and is a diverse
community comprised of 14 villages, each with a unique character. The
villages of Newton - listed alphabetically - are: Auburndale, Chestnut
Hill, Four Corners, Newton Centre, Newton Corner, Newton Highlands, Newton
Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls, Newtonville, Nonantum, Oak Hill,
Thomsonville and Waban.
Newton is a vibrant community that is desirable as a place to live and work
due to its proximity to Boston, nearness to various highway and public
transportation systems, attractive neighborhoods and high property values,
well-run municipal government, and a strong, nationally-recognized school
system. Newton has well maintained parks, bicycle and fitness trails, golf
courses, a public pool and lake. From July through October there is an
outdoor Farmer's Market. Newton has a new, state-of-the-art, award-winning
Library which served 602,951 people in 1993, and is home to the Jackson
Homestead Museum, one of 712 nationally-accredited museums (out of 6,200
museums country-wide). Among the myriad arts and cultural organizations
and activities, Newton has a Symphony Orchestra, resident theatre groups
and an Arts in the Parks Program. Newton has been designated 1 of 3 cities
nationwide to participate in a pilot tree bank, planting 6,800 seedlings.
Newton has an extensive Institutional Network (I-Net) communications system
which connects 63 municipal and institutional buildings, including all
public schools. Newton was the recipient of the U.S. Conference of Mayors
and Heinz Foundation awards for being the first city in the Commonwealth to
administer a mandatory curbside recycling program. 90% of residents
recycle, reducing incinerated tonnage by 33% and saving $468,000 in 1993.
In 1993, Newton was one of 5 cities nationwide, with a population over
50,000, to receive the U.S. Conference of Mayors' Livability Award. In
1993, there were $3.8 million worth of public works projects in process. |
