New Castle Police Department

Being one of the oldest cities in Kentucky, New Castle was settled in the 1790’s and became the county seat when Henry County was established in 1798. New Castle has one of the few remaining intact 19th Century courthouse squares in Kentucky. Our homes and commercial buildings allow us glimpses of the rich architectural history of our city.
