It is named for an Anglican minister who arrived in Edmonton in 1875. Anglican Canon John William Newton served the people of Edmonton until 1900. The hospital he built just east of the old town, named the Hermitage, is the namesake of the Hermitage area. The Newton neighbourhood and community league are also named in his honour. [8]

The neighbourhood overlooks the North Saskatchewan River valley.

The neighbourhood is bounded on the west by Victoria Trail, on the south by Yellowhead Trail, and on the north by Kennedale Ravine. To the east is the North Saskatchewan River valley.

Residents have access to the Edmonton LRT system at Belvedere station to the west of the neighbourhood. The LRT provides access to the downtown core, the University of Alberta, Northlands, the Coliseum, and Commonwealth Stadium.
