Delton has been part of Edmonton since 1910, a time when land speculators fuelled a tremendous expansion in the supply of vacant subdivisions. Most of Delton was subdivided with the grid pattern of streets common before World War I.
Explore how Delton fits on the map: the gold fill is the boundary in effect for the selected time period, dashed outlines show every earlier superseded shape from prior eras, red pins are linked structures built in that era, and purple pins are sites. Use the time period buttons below the map to explore the neighbourhood over time. Boundary history is documented in Stories.
