David Charleston grew up in a factory there.
Newcago is also the base of operations for Steelheart's three main subordinates: [[Firefight]], [[Conflux]], and [[Nightwielder]]. The city was kept in perpetual darkness, except for the light from Calamity, by Nightwielder before he was killed during the Steelheart hit.
