New Castle, the only town in NH composed entirely of islands, covers approximately 500 acres (.8 square miles) and serves as a scenic residential and recreational community. New Castle was founded in 1623, chartered in 1679, and incorporated in 1693 during the reign of William and Mary. Today, in addition to a residential population of slightly more than 1,000, it is home to the New Castle Common recreational park, Wentworth-by-the-Sea Hotel, a UNH marine research laboratory, a Coast Guard station, and Fort Constitution and Fort Stark state parks.
Safepath/Sidewalk on Wentworth Road will not be completed this year due to weather related circumstances caused by the 2011 October storm. The town will not take ownership of the sidewalk or do any winter maintenance until completion anticipated next spring. The path is not in use to the public until then. Notice will be provided when the public is allowed the use of the path.
