| • | Newcastle, New Brunswick was a former town on the Miramichi River in east central New Brunswick, Canada. Since its amalgamation with the downriver town of Chatham, New Brunswick and several smaller areas it has formed part of the city of Miramichi.
It was shire town of Northumberland County, and was the location of the court house and government offices. It was also the head of navigation on the river and had wharves for the export of lumber and other forest products. During the early 1870s the Intercolonial Railway was built through the town, placing it on the mainline between Halifax and Montreal. Its most prosperous days were before World War I. At its peak it had a population of about 6,500.
British statesman and newspaper baron, Max Aitkin, Lord Beaverbrook, was raised in the town; the town has a statue commemorating him.
