From Wikipedia:
Newberry is a city located on the west side
of
Alachua County, Florida, United States. The
population was 3,316 at the 2000 census. As of 2004, the population
estimated by the U.S. Census Bureau is 3,630
[. Much of
the city borders the neighboring Gilchrist County to the west.
Newberry developed as a mining town after
phosphate was discovered in the western part of Alachua County in 1889;
and, the town was located along the route of the Savannah, Florida, and
Western Railway, that in 1893 was extended southward from High Springs. A
post office established in March 1894 was named Newton, but changed to
Newberry in August of that year. In 1896 there were fourteen mines
operating nearby; with hotels, boarding houses and saloons to accommodate
the town's transient and sometimes unruly population. The demand for
phosphate ended abruptly in 1914 when war was declared against Germany,
the principal customer for Newberry's phosphate. The community turned to
agriculture and was particularly successful at producing watermelons. The
Watermelon Festival, first held in 1946, continues to be an annual event.
In 1987
Newberry's Historic District was officially
listed on the
National Register of Historic Places.
