Our Town, Our Story
Get to know the people and history behind New Market.
Welcome to New Market
A small town with deep roots
New Market is a close-knit community in Montgomery County, Indiana. Generations of families have called this town home, and that sense of neighbors looking out for neighbors still shapes everyday life here.
From its early days as a small farming community to the town it is today, New Market has grown while holding on to what makes it special: friendly faces, local schools, dedicated public safety, and a Town Hall that's easy to reach.
Town Hall serves residents with water and utility services, local government, parks, and the information you need to stay connected to your community.
