Newcastle-under-Lyme is a historic market town in Staffordshire, England. Founded in the 12th century, the town gets its name from the 'new' castle built to replace an older fortress, with 'under-Lyme' referring to the nearby Lyme Forest.

The town has played a significant role in the region's history, particularly during the Industrial Revolution when it was known for coal mining, hat making, and cotton textile manufacturing. Today, Newcastle-under-Lyme is an important educational center, home to parts of Keele University and Newcastle-under-Lyme College.

The town maintains its cultural heritage through various venues and events, including the New Vic Theatre, known for its theater-in-the-round productions, and the annual Jazz & Blues Festival. The historic market, which has been operating since 1173, continues to be a central feature of the town's cultural and commercial life.
