[edit] History

The Town of Newfane was established in 1824 from parts of the Towns of Hartland, Somerset, and Wilson. At one time the community was known as "Charlotte" and "Charlottesville," but then was renamed Newfane ("New Fane" = "New Church").

Its school district includes an Early Childhood Center, Elementary school, middle school and one high school. The school's mascot is a blue panther. In recent years, there have been 3 instances of teachers that either resigned or were fired because of sexual misconduct, including the former middle school principal. This has drawn regional attention to the credibility of some of the employees of the school district.
