Dalton includes a farming community, both arable and stock, and is sited on a stream or beck which is a tributary of the River Swale. The Dalton & Gayles Village Hall, which is shared with the neighbouring village of Gayles, is located in Dalton; there is also St James' Church, Dalton, an Anglican chapel built in 1897.

The name Dalton comes from Old English and means farmstead or village in a valley. [5]

To the South of Dalton there are the remains of a camp called ‘Castle Steads’, and further south there is a block of stone called ‘Stone Man’ which used to be a landmark, until the stones were taken away to make fences. A mile south-east of the Stone Man, a stone chest was found which had a ‘kale pot’, said to have contained money. [6]

Dalton Hall, north-west of the village, dates from the 15th century. [7] Dalton Mill was built in the early 18th century and operated until the 1920s. [8]

In 1835, an allowance of £40 was given to the schoolmaster by the Kirby-Ravensworth hospital for the education of the poor children. [9] By 1890, there was a mixed school attended by 50 students. [10]
