Newcastle's origins date back to the late 19th century when it was a bustling coal mining town. Named after Newcastle upon Tyne in England, the area played a crucial role in supplying coal to industries in Seattle and beyond. Though the mines have long since closed, the town's rich history is still evident in its charming architecture and community pride.
