Newcastle was named after the northeast of England coal town
of Newcastle upon Tyne. This was due to the fact that in the early part
of the 1900's Newcastle was a coal mining district. Newcastle is part of
Young County. Newcastle has a population approaching seven hundred within
the Newcastle Independent school District. Attractions near Newcastle include
Fort Belknap and the State Park. This Newcastle fortification was constructed
in 1848 as one in a series of forts in the Newcastle area to offer protection
to the settlers.
Lake Graham is also located near to Newcastle and provides visitors to Newcastle
with water based activities and fishing.
