A post office at Newburg (originally spelled Newburgh) opened in 1878. The post office closed in January 1954.[2]

The Newburg Church was built in 1896; the congregation previously met at the Newburg schoolhouse. In 1996, the Newburg Church's congregation merged with the Chester congregation to become the Newburg Chester Church.[3]

The population of Newburg was estimated at 200 in 1887,[4] and was 41 in 1902.[5]

On March 5, 2022, an EF2 tornado struck the community, damaging several homes.[6]
