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!

Founded in 1854, Gainesville, Florida has a rich history shaped by its location in the heart of Alachua County. Originally established as a stagecoach stop along the Florida Railroad, Gainesville quickly grew into a bustling town known for its agriculture and timber industries. During the Civil War, Gainesville served as an important supply center for the Confederate Army. In the late 19th century, the city experienced a period of rapid growth and development with the establishment of the University of Florida in 1906. The university has since become a major component of Gainesville’s economy and culture. Throughout the 20th century, Gainesville continued to thrive as a hub for education, healthcare, and technology. Today, Gainesville is known for its vibrant arts scene, diverse population, and beautiful natural surroundings. The city’s historic downtown area is filled with charming shops, restaurants, and cultural landmarks, making it a popular destination for visitors and residents alike.
