New Castle, County seat in Lawrence County, Pennsylvania.
New Castle stands at the meeting point of Shenango River and Neshannock Creek, 43 miles northwest of Pittsburgh near the Pennsylvania-Ohio border.
The settlement began in 1798 when John Carlysle Stewart discovered 50 unclaimed acres at the confluence of two waterways and established the future city.
The population includes a substantial Arab-American community, descended from Lebanese and Syrian immigrants who arrived in the late 1800s and early 1900s.
The New Castle Area School District manages educational facilities, including primary schools, secondary schools, and the New Castle School of Trades.
New Castle earned recognition as the tin plate capital of the world after establishing the largest tin plate manufacturing facility in America.
