The county boundary between Cheshire and Derbyshire divides the area between the two counties.[1] It entirely originally formed part of the parish of Disley and the county of Cheshire, and most of it became part of Derbyshire under the Local Government Act 1888[2] and on 31 December 1894 Newtown became a separate civil parish, on 1 April 1934 the parish was abolished and merged with New Mills.[3] In 1931 the parish had a population of 1421.[4]
