As I am from a town near to Newcastle upon Tyne in England, I was just wondering how your NEWCASTLE was formed? Were there people from the North east of England who named it? Just interested to know how it was named :)

Thank you.

Joyce.

Its very sad, how much development has taken place up there. The community is lucky to have Milt around. Its nice to have someone around still that remembers whats it was like besides tearing everything down for the million dollar homes sitting on top of mines! I grew up on that hill as well my father did and its pretty sad to see the developments that have taken over and replaced the history and beauty of that mountain.
