First Battle of Newtonia Historic District
First Battle of Newtonia Historic District, Civil War battlefield in Newtonia, United States.
The battlefield stretches across 152 acres of rural land containing five structures and a cemetery with more than 600 marked graves.
On September 30, 1862, Confederate forces under Colonel Douglas Cooper defeated Union troops led by General Frederick Salomon in this strategic location.
The district preserves a significant Civil War site where Native American troops from both sides faced each other in armed combat.
The Mathew H. Ritchey House within the district serves as a reference point for visitors exploring the battlefield's layout and military positions.
The preserved Newtonia Branch stream and segments of the original Neosho Road remain unchanged since the 1862 battle.
