Hamm New Castle Monthly Meeting was first held Ninth Month 25, 1886. It was formed by setting off New Castle Preparative Meeting from Duck Creek Monthly Meeting and Flat Rock Preparative Meeting from Springfield Monthly Meeting. Friends from North Carolina first settled in the town of New Castle in 1823. They were never many, however, and apparently attended meeting at Duck Creek or east of New Castle at Flat Rock, which was subordinate to Springfield Monthly Meeting. In the mid-1870s, Spiceland Monthly Meeting attempted to establish a meeting for worship, but it was laid down in 1877. In 1870, Dr. Isaac Mendenhall invited Friends living in New Castle to begin meeting at his office. This attempt was more successful, and in 1881 Duck Creek Monthly Meeting gave the group preparative meeting status. A new meetinghouse on North Main Street opened in Second Month 1886, a few months before the establishment of the monthly meeting. New Castle grew as the meeting at Flat Rock declined. Flat Rock was laid down in 1914. A graveyard remains at the site. The following records are in the Indiana Yearly Meeting Archives at Earlham College.
