Newton County combines a growing economy, low unemployment, new schools, a thriving downtown, business districts and just enough distance from metro Atlanta to remain rural.  The main town in Newton County is Covington, which is known for its historical preservation and rural charm.  Local opportunities for recreation include enjoying the area's lakes and rivers and hiking trails and playing the county's many golf courses.
