Newville was founded about 1882 by James Madison Wells as a village called Wells. When the Abbeville Southern Railroad laid tracks through town in 1893, it became Wells Station, and a post office was built in 1894. Wells Station was incorporated as Newville in 1903.
The town prospered with merchants, banks, lodges, doctors, churches, a newspaper, a depot, sawmills, cotton gins and mule stables. James M. and Catherine Wells donated land in 1887 for the Newville Baptist Church and cemetery, where more than 700 people are buried. The first known school met at Center Church in 1881; a brick Newville High School opened in 1929, burned in 1936 and was rebuilt, and it closed in 1968. A Rosenwald school served Black students, the first Black school having been organized in 1894. Newville's slow decline began after the Great Depression, as farm mechanization and lost commerce drew people away.
