New Brockton is located in Coffee County in the southeastern portion of the state. It has a mayor/city council form of government.
History

The town came to be named New Brockton when the postmaster in town asked that "New" be added to help avoid confusion with the town of Blockton. The first train came through town in 1898, prompting a development boom as settlers moved to town to take advantage of the better shipping and transportation. Brock himself donated land for churches, cemeteries, and a school. In 1911, a vocational school was built in town. In 1946, the town added a new fire department, and a National Guard Armory was added in 1961.
