Newtown is a historic district located north of downtown on the other side of the Salisbury Parkway. It was one of Salisbury's first suburbs, first developed around the early 1800s as Haynie's settlement, but would be renamed to New Town by the 1820s. The area was on of the most prosperous in the Delmarva peninsula with Green revival and Italianate housing.
