About Newtown Battlefield State Park
Newtown Battlefield State Park, formerly known as Newtown Battlefield Reservation, was the site of the Battle of Newtown fought in August 1779, during the American Revolutionary War. It was the only major battle of the Sullivan Expedition, an armed offensive led by General John Sullivan that was ordered by the Continental Congress to end the threat of the Haudenosaunee who had sided with the British in the American Revolutionary War. In the battle, the Haudenosaunee were defeated decisively. A portion of the battlefield is today managed as a 372-acre (1.51 km2) state park.
