History

The name of the village means "new settlement or farmstead" from the Old English words nīwe and tūn.

Its population was 49 in 1801 and 44 in 1851. A civil parish from 1866, it was abolished in 1889 and subsumed into the nearby civil parish of Grange. Between 1894 and 1933 Newton was part of Wirral Rural District, then Hoylake Urban District until 1974.
