Newton

Newton, a neighborhood steeped in history, was initially subdivided before becoming part of Edmonton through annexations in 1912 and 1913. Its development spans several decades, with the southern half featuring residences constructed before World War II, contrasting with the ongoing development in the northwest corner until the late 1990s. This results in a blend of traditional grid layouts and modified systems in different sections. Primarily characterized by single-detached homes, Newton also offers a sprinkling of low-density multi-family and apartment units.
At its heart lies a central school site accommodating two elementary schools and three parks, fostering community engagement and recreation. Complementing its residential fabric, a small commercial center nestled next to the school site serves local needs, while additional amenities line the bustling 118th Avenue to the south. Named after the pioneering Anglican Minister Reverend William Newton, the neighborhood honors his legacy, marking a significant chapter in Edmonton’s history.
