Kentland is the county seat of Newton County, Indiana. Newton County is located on the western border of Indiana, adjoining Iroquois County, Illinois. It is south of Chicago, in Illinois and Hammond, in Indiana. Newton County is included in the Chicago metropolitan area. As of the 2010 Census, there were 14, 244 people living in Newton County.

The original Newton County was formed by statute on February 7, 1835, and was a roughly square area some 30 miles on a side, encompassing what is now the northern half of the county, the northern half of Jasper County, and a large section to the north. The northern border was cut back to the Kankakee River on February 1, 1836, with all land north of the Kankakee River going to Lake and Porter counties. The county was abolished and combined with Jasper County in 1839. On December 8, 1859, the county was re-created and the borders were redrawn to essentially their current state. Newton County is named after Sgt. John Newton, who served under Gen. Francis Marion (the "Swamp Fox") in the American Revolutionary War. Upon its re-creation, Newton County was the last county to be organized in Indiana.
