Newberry Historic District, Historic district in Newberry, Florida.

The Newberry Historic District covers about 400 acres (1.6 km2) in Newberry, Florida, bounded by Northwest 2nd Avenue, Northwest 2nd Street, Lucile Street and Northwest 9th Street. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 24, 1987, and contains 48 historic buildings.

Newberry began in the 1880s during a phosphate mining boom, when the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway connected it to nearby High Springs. This rail link turned the area into a trading center for the growing mining industry in the region.

The district's name comes from Newberry, settled in the 1880s during a phosphate mining boom; the Savannah, Florida and Western Railway linked it to High Springs, making the town a trading centre for the mining industry. Among the 48 historic buildings, the 1915 Old Newberry High School now houses Newberry City Hall, and the 1928 water tower rises 132 feet.

The district sits roughly 18 miles west of Gainesville and is easiest to visit by car. Informational signs at the buildings provide insights into their history, and guided tours are available for those who want deeper context about what they are seeing.

The district preserves structures from the phosphate mining era when German companies were the primary customers of local operations before World War I began in 1914. These international business ties left deep marks on the town's growth and the buildings that still stand today.
