History

Like many of the cities and villages on the

, Newburg formed around a hydropowered mill. In 1848, village founder Barton Salisbury built a dam on the river to power his feed and saw mills. While Salisbury died in a construction accident in 1849, one mill operated until 1903; the other closed in 1939. The dam was replaced and repaired several times, before finally being demolished in 2011–12. The village incorporated in 1973 from land in the towns of Saukville and Trenton. At the time of incorporation, the population was 634.
