Newcastle-under-Lyme has been a market town since 1173. Located in Staffordshire (England) it is the principal town of the Borough of Newcastle-under-Lyme. It is part of The Potteries Urban Area and North Staffordshire. In the 2001 census the town had a population of 73,944. It is not to be confused with the larger city of Newcastle upon Tyne.
It is known simply as "castle" to many local people, although the "new castle" itself (built in 12th century) has long since vanished. The reference to "under lyme" in the name is thought to be either the Lyme brook which runs through the town, or the lime forests that covered the area in the middle ages.
