NEWTON
NEIGHBOURHOOD DESCRIPTION
Newton was subdivided before it was part of Edmonton, but was soon absorbed through two
annexations. The portion north of 123rd Avenue was annexed with the town of North Edmonton
in 1912, and southern Newton joined Edmonton in 1913. Prior to 1947, the southeast portion of
Newton formed a continuous block of development with the Town of Beverly, an old mining town.
Unlike Edmonton’s newer neighbourhoods, Newton’s development was spread out over several
decades. Many of the residences in southern Newton were built before World War II, while the
northwest corner of the neighbourhood continued developing well into the late 1990s. As a result,
Newton’s southern half is laid out in a traditional grid format while the lands north of 123rd Avenue
are laid out along a modified grid system.
Dwelling units in the neighbourhood are primarily single-detached with a limited number of low
density multi-family units and some apartment units. Newton features a central school site, which
houses two elementary schools, and has three parks. A small commercial centre is located in
the centre of the neighbourhood adjacent to the school site, and other commercial amenities are
located along 118th Avenue, which forms the southern boarder of the neighbourhood.
The Newton neighbourhood was named in honour of Anglican Minister Reverend William Newton,
who arrived in Edmonton in 1875 and built a church and hospital roughly ten kilometers east of
Fort Edmonton that same year.
