Newberry dates back to the late 19th Century, when it quickly became a booming phosphate mining town. Today, the city of Newberry has a population of about 5,000 but is a short 20 minutes from all of Gainesville's amenities. Because of its proximity to Gainesville & the University of Florida, Newberry is a popular choice for people who are looking for small-town charm.
Newberry also boasts a very highly-rated elementary school and a multi-purpose sports complex.
