Newcastle
 If
you are looking for older homes
on large lots in the foothills or
newer homes with wonderful views
of the Sacramento Valley, Newcastle
may be your next hometown.
Famous for its mandarin oranges,
Newcastle celebrates this special
fruit with the Mountain Mandarin
Festival each year in November.
The event has become so popular,
they had to move it to the Gold
Country Fairground to allow for
the ever increasing crowds.
The fruit packing
sheds ( Virtual
Tour) attest to the long history
of growing not only mandarins but
also cherries, peaches, pears and
strawberries. The old packing
sheds now are home to restaurants
and the Newcastle Produce Company.
