Sainte-Justine-de-Newton (French pronunciation: [sɛ̃t ʒystin də njutən]) is a municipality located in the Montérégie region of Quebec, Canada. The population as of the 2021 Canadian census was 947. The municipality is situated on Route 325 south of Très-Saint-Rédempteur, just east of the Ontario border.
In 1805, the geographic township of Newton was created, likely named after Newton Abbot in England. [1] Sainte-Justine-de-Newton was also named after Justine de Padoue. [5]
In 1845, the Township Municipality of Newton was formed, but abolished in 1847. In 1855, it was reestablished as the Parish Municipality of Sainte-Justine-de-Newton, combining the names of the parish and the geographic township. In 1865, its post office opened. [1]
In 2008, the parish municipality changed its statutes to become a (regular) municipality. [1]
