Beginnings [2]
Incorporated from Shrewsbury Township in 1879. The first settler was Conrad Free, a German who came in 1783. The town is named for the Free family, the word "New" being added because of the older borough of "Freedom" in Beaver County. The borough is on the Maryland line, and is the highest point between York and Baltimore along the Pennsylvania Railroad.
