Welcome to the Newto News for March of 2024. My name is Zack Cockfield, and my team and I created Newtomedia as a way for visitors or new residents to get information about a city. Each month we bring together resources that will update you on the history, amenities, culture, future opportunities and all other things inside a city that make it unique. We also hope to be a resource for connecting you with people and businesses that can help you live a better life. If you find our efforts useful, please click on the links to get more information!

Evansville, Indiana, located on the banks of the Ohio River, has a rich history dating back to the early 19th century. Founded in 1812, the city was named after Colonel Robert Morgan Evans, a prominent figure in the area. Evansville quickly grew into a bustling river port, serving as a hub for shipping and trade in the Midwest. During the Civil War, Evansville played a crucial role in supplying the Union Army with provisions and munitions. The city also became known for its thriving manufacturing industry, particularly in the production of furniture, automobiles, and appliances. In the 20th century, Evansville continued to evolve, becoming a center for education, healthcare, and cultural activities. Today, the city is home to a diverse population and a vibrant arts and culinary scene.
