New Morgan is a borough in Berks County, Pennsylvania, United States. The population was 71 at the 2010 census.
New Morgan is located near the southern corner of Berks County at 40°10′50″N 75°52′14″W / 40.18056°N 75.87056°W (40.180693, -75.870694). It is bordered to the south by Caernarvon Township and to the north by Robeson Township. The unincorporated community of Morgantown is nearby to the south.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the borough has a total area of 5.8 square miles (14.9 km2), of which 5.5 square miles (14.2 km2) is land and 0.27 square miles (0.7 km2), or 4.57%, is water.
In 1987, Raymond Carr, the sole owner of Morgantown Properties, petitioned Berks County Court to create a new borough from 3,500 acres (14 km2) in Caernarvon and Robeson townships. The fate of the proposal was determined by the ten residents living within the boundaries of the proposed borough, most of whom were Carr's tenants. In an April 1988 election, those residents voted 9-1 in favor of forming the new borough. The state's procedures on formation of a new borough have since been revised to require new boroughs to have at least 500 residents.
