New Castle, Indiana, is home to the largest high school gymnasium in the world, New Castle Fieldhouse. It has an unbelievable seating capacity of 8,424. The city also boasts nine out of the eleven largest high school gyms in the United States. The Delaware Native Americans inhabited the city before the Europeans settled in it in the 1820s. It was then named after New Castle, Kentucky, and platted in 1823, and that's when the post office opened. Dating back to the 20th century, New Castle was known as Rose City at some point due to a large number of growers and florists. In 1907, the Maxwell automobile factory was constructed. At this time, it was the most prominent automotive manufacturing plant in the country, and Chrysler Motor Corp later bought the factory.

It is the county seat of Henry county and located 44 miles northeast of Indianapolis, on the Big Blue River. Based on the last US census estimates, the city has a population of 16,780, meaning more than half of the population could fit in New Castle Fieldhouse. The city was a site for manufacturing sheet iron and steel, bridges, automobiles, furniture, clothing, caskets, and more in its early days. What about now? It is still known for manufacturing automobile parts and steel products. A couple of places in the city, like the Henry County Courthouse, Gen. William Grose House, and New Castle Commercial Historic District, are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

New Castle is a tremendous small-town family tourist spot. There are attractions such as motorsports racing at the New Castle Motorsports Park, Henry County Historical Society Museum, and Gen. William Grose House. Stop by the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame and see why Indiana is one of the most basketball prominent states. The city houses the Hoosier gym where "Hoosiers," the film, was recorded.

For the outdoor types, Summit Lake State Park is a great option for you to experience beauty and serenity. It is an ideal venue for kayaking, camping, and fishing.
