Originally a wooded area, Newcastle was first settled in 1833 by Stephen Crandell, who opened a tavern for travellers. Over the years, shops and other businesses joined the tavern in the woods, and the settlement came to be known as Crandell’s Corners.

The nearby community of Bond Head also grew up around this time, centred around the Bond Head Harbour and its pier. The two villages amalgamated in 1851 under the name of the Village of Newcastle.
