Do you know of Newtown Mills ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Newtown Mills. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Newtown Mills.<1>

Our sources for Newtown Mills (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Newtown Mills other than they indicate that Newtown Mills would be found somewhere in Forest County, Pennsylvania.

From the Blevins / Hellbock List: The post office opened  in 1868 and closed  in 1910.
