Newton is a neighbourhood rich in history, named in honour of Reverend William Newton, who made his mark in Edmonton in 1875. The area has seen development unfold over several decades, with the northern section being annexed in 1912 and the southern part joining Edmonton a year later.
While southern Newton features charming residences built before World War II, the northwest corner of the neighbourhood is currently experiencing a wave of new development, reflecting the area's ongoing evolution and growth.
