Newton: Maytag's Hometown and the Iowa Speedway
Newton sits about 30 miles east of Des Moines in Jasper County with a population of approximately 15,100. The city was the headquarters of the Maytag Corporation for over a century, from its founding in 1893 until Whirlpool acquired the company in 2006 and eventually closed the Newton operations. The loss of Maytag eliminated thousands of jobs.
The Iowa Speedway, a 7/8-mile oval opened in 2006, hosts NASCAR, IndyCar, and other racing events. The facility sits south of the city and has become a regional draw. Newton has worked to diversify its economy in the post-Maytag era, attracting wind energy companies including TPI Composites, which manufactures wind turbine blades.
The Jasper County Courthouse, a Romanesque Revival building on the central square, anchors a downtown that has seen new restaurant and retail openings. Maytag Park and the Newton Arboretum provide green space.
