A Great Western Tradition
“On the 25th day of October 1889, the application of J.L. Baird and the thirty residents and electors of the Territory of Wyoming hereinafter mentioned, has this day been presented to this Board of County Commissioners of Crook County.” And so the city of Newcastle, Wyoming, was born. Now located in Weston County, following a split from Crook County in May 1890, Newcastle now boasts over 3,500 residents. This size allows the city to have many of the amenities of a larger city and yet maintain a friendly, small-town atmosphere.
A Great Place for Business and Jobs
Since its beginning, the driving forces behind Newcastle’s economy have been the railroad, agriculture, and the energy industry. The same holds true today, and these businesses remain the largest employers in the area. Newcastle’s cost of living and population density remains below the national average, resulting in an influx of people relocating here from other parts of the country.

A Great Place to Retire
The beautiful grasslands to the west and south, along with Western hospitality and a quality way of life, are a great draw for those interested in retiring to Newcastle. Abundant opportunities for recreation abound, including hunting, fishing, snowmobiling and hiking in the adjacent Black Hills. Weston County Senior Services, based in Newcastle, is the hub of activity for seniors, providing affordable senior housing on-site, cafeteria style meals, and access to a variety of activities and services. With good local medical care and within easy driving distance to several major medical centers, our small town is an excellent place to retire.
A Great Place for Education
Newcastle has three new schools, all of which have low student-to-teacher ratios. Students have access to a variety of activities and facilities, including a first-class aquatic center, auditorium, and gymnasiums.
