Known as the 'Garden City', Newton is located in Middlesex County, Massachusetts.
It is an important residential suburb of Boston, which abuts it on the east.
According to the 2000 census, the population of the Newton was 83,829, making it the
tenth largest city in the state.
Newton does not have a single town center, but is rather a patchwork of 13 "villages", many boasting small
"downtown" areas of their own. The 13 villages are: Auburndale, Chestnut Hill, Newton Centre, Newton Corner,
Newton Highlands, Newton Lower Falls, Newton Upper Falls (both on the Charles River, and both
once small industrial sites), Newtonville, Nonantum (also called The Lake), Oak Hill, Thompsonville,
Waban, and West Newton. Oak Hill Park is a place within the village of Oak Hill that
itself is shown as a village on some city maps. Although most of the villages have a post
office, they have no legal definition and no firmly defined borders.
The city has two symphony orchestras, the New Philharmonia Orchestra of Massachusetts and the Newton Symphony Orchestra.
The Newton Free Library possesses more than 500,000 volumes of print materials (2004), as well as art, both original and prints, sound recordings and videos: the largest collection in the Minuteman Library Network.
Newton is best known as a bedroom community for commuters to Boston, in spite of considerable commercial and manufacturing activity of its own.
It is well-served by three modes of mass transit run by the MBTA; light rail, commuter rail, and bus service.
