However, unlike other areas surrounding Huddersfield, Dalton was not listed as `waste', meaning uncultivated or unusable land, and there was economic activity. A plough was being used and the land was worth ten shillings. [2]

Dalton was formerly a township in the parish of Kirk-Heaton, [3] in 1866 Dalton became a separate civil parish, [4] on 1 April 1924 the parish was abolished and merged with Huddersfield. [5] In 1921 the parish had a population of 9528. [6]
