How Newcomerstown began
Newcomerstown occupies the site of Gekelukpechink, a Lenape (Delaware) town on the Tuscarawas River that grew to more than 700 residents by 1776 under the elder chief Netawatwees, whose English nickname "Newcomer" gave the modern village its name. American settlement followed the Treaty of Greenville, and the village grew as a farming and rail town in the Tuscarawas Valley. It is best known nationally for two very different residents: Hall of Fame pitcher Cy Young, who died there in 1955, and 19-year-old Ronald Hooker, elected mayor in 1971. Today it is a small Tuscarawas County village of under 4,000 people.
Settled 1760s (Lenape town of Gekelukpechink, under Netawatwees); American village platted in the early 19th century, platted 1827 (34 lots; West Newcomerstown, 40 lots, by John Tufford the same year), incorporated 1868, by Nicholas Neighbor and others, on the Ohio Canal.
Where the name comes from
The 1884 county history says the pioneers first called the settlement Neighbortown after its first settlers, but Indians and traders knew the locality as Newcomerstown; the Delaware chief Netawatwes, who ruled the nation at Gekelemukpechunk, was also called King Newcomer and sometimes signed state papers with that name. The town has 'doubtless' taken its name from him, though a more romantic origin has been ascribed to it.
Before the town
This is one of the best-documented Native places in Tuscarawas County. In the 1760s the Lenape (Delaware) chief Netawatwees ("Newcomer," c. 1686-1776) moved his band from the Cuyahoga Falls area and established Gekelukpechink ("still water") on the Tuscarawas River, on or immediately adjacent to the site of the present village. By 1771 it held more than 100 dwellings, and by 1776 more than 700 Lenape and several resident traders lived there. Wikipedia describes it as a meeting place for the Iroquois Great Council. With the outbreak of the Revolutionary War the Lenape moved west to Coshocton, ending the town's occupation. No marked or preserved trace of Gekelukpechink is recorded here. The valley's Moravian missions and treaties date from the same period.
Nations recorded here: Lenape (Delaware).

Stories
Newcomer's town on the Tuscarawas
In the 1760s the Lenape chief Netawatwees, called "Newcomer" by English speakers, led his band away from the Cuyahoga Falls area and settled on the Tuscarawas River. The Lenape called the town Gekelukpechink, "still water." By 1771 it held more than a hundred dwellings, and by 1776 more than 700 Lenape lived there alongside several traders. Wikipedia says it served as a meeting place for the Iroquois Great Council. With the Revolutionary War beginning, the Lenape moved west to Coshocton. The American village platted later on nearby ground took the English version of the chief's name.
A teenage mayor makes LIFE magazine
In 1971, Newcomerstown elected Ronald Hooker mayor at age 19, drawing national attention when LIFE magazine named him one of the two youngest elected officials in United States history up to that point. His platform was small-town and specific: bring more industry to Newcomerstown, and stop the "young hotrodders" who raced cars through town at night. The story of a teenager running a small Tuscarawas Valley village briefly made Newcomerstown a curiosity nationwide.
Cy Young comes home
Denton True "Cy" Young, the winningest pitcher in major league history and namesake of the Cy Young Award, was born March 29, 1867, in Gilmore, a farming settlement in Washington Township, Tuscarawas County, a few miles from Newcomerstown. He grew up working his father's 54-acre farm, earning the nicknames "Farmer Young" and "Farmboy Young," and left school after the sixth grade for farm labor before a semipro season with the Carrollton team in 1888 brought an offer from Canton, where his professional career began in 1890. After a 22-year major league career, Young returned to Tuscarawas County and died on November 4, 1955, at age 88, on a farm in the Newcomerstown area; he is buried in Peoli, Ohio.
Neighbortown that kept the chief's name
Before the canal, the first settlers around the crossing, Judge Nicholas Neighbor's family among them, called their settlement Neighbortown, but Indians and traders knew the place as Newcomerstown, and the old name won out when the village was platted on the Ohio Canal in 1827. The county history connects it with Netawatwes, the Delaware chief at Gekelemukpechunk, whom the English called King Newcomer and who sometimes signed state papers with that name, while admitting that a more romantic origin had been told. Neighbor's old log cabin stood south of the later Pan Handle depot, and he built the first store, a small brick building on Lot 1. By 1880 the canal village had 926 people and two railroads crossing inside the town.
