With metropolitan amenities and small-town charm, Newcastle is a fast-growing community and a very desirable city to live in and do business. It is the largest city in McClain County and is located just south of the Oklahoma City Metropolitan Area in the South Canadian River valley, running from Oklahoma City in the north to Norman in the southeast.
Newcastle offers prime frontage on Interstate 35 to the south and Interstate 44 to the north, as well as immediate access to the HE Bailey Turnpike.
There are plenty of opportunities for retail and commercial development. Companies have access to the Oklahoma City area labor force, with an expanding, quality infrastructure, competitive utility costs, and an overall low cost of doing business.
Beginning in 1894 as a part of the Chickasaw Nation in Indian Territory Newcastle has grown to be a vibrant rural suburban community offering top-rated schools, low crime rates, quiet neighborhoods and plenty of activities. The Chickasaw Nation maintains a strong business presence.
