Newtown Cunningham, usually spelled Newtowncunningham or abbreviated to Newton (Irish: An Baile Nua, meaning 'new town'[2]), is a village and townland in the Laggan district in the east of County Donegal, Ireland.

[2] Like nearby Manorcunningham, the village takes its current name from John Cunningham, originally from Kilbirnie, Ayrshire, in Scotland, who was among the settlers granted lands in County Donegal during the 17th century Plantation of Ulster.

[citation needed] Newtowncunningham's long Main Street once formed part of the busy N13 trunk road connecting Letterkenny with Derry.

[citation needed] Newtown Cunningham is located close to Blanket Nook, a wetland area and bird sanctuary that is a wintering site for the rare whooper swan.

[citation needed] As of 2018, Bus Éireann provided 11 daily buses passing through the village in both directions, either to Derry or to Letterkenny.

The Columban Hall on the main street hosts several events throughout the year, such as festivals, concerts, and car boot sales.
