The area encompassing the Village Village of Newcastle in 1856 was once part of a larger area, the District of Newcastle. In.1973, when the Province of Ontario formed regional municipalities, the Village of Newcastle was amalgamated with the Town of Bowmanville and Townships of Darlington and Clarke and the whole area was then called, the Town of Newcastle, a throwback to the old days of districts. districts. In 1993, the name of the amalgamated municipality was changed to the present "Municipality of Clarington", but the Village of Newcastle continues to be one of the most important important communities of Clarington..
