On December 10, 1868 Escambia County was formed. Brewton became a town on
2/13/1885. Originally known as Newport because it became a new port with barges
making runs to Pensacola, FL and back on the Murder and Burnt Corn Creeks. The
coming of the railroad in 1861 and building of a depot run by Edmund Troupe
BREWTON as Station Agent brought about the eventual change of the name of the
place as Brewton Station, later shortened to Brewton.
