We acknowledge that the land on which Edmonton is built is Treaty Six Territory. We thank the diverse Indigenous Peoples whose footsteps have marked this territory for centuries, such as nêhiyaw (Cree), Dené, Anishinaabe (Saulteaux), Nakota Isga (Nakota Sioux), and Niitsitapi (Blackfoot) peoples. We also acknowledge this as the Métis homeland and the home of one of the largest communities of Inuit south of the 60th parallel. It is a welcoming place for all peoples who come from around the world to share Edmonton as a home. It is important that we not only recognize our shared histories, but also each other's contributions to establishing the built heritage of Edmonton and Area.

About

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.
