Welcome to Dalton with Newton Town Council

Dalton is the ancient and historic capital of Furness and although Dalton appears in the Domesday book of 1086 it has a long Anglo Saxon and Viking history. The 14th-century tower known as Dalton Castle was formerly the manorial courthouse of Furness Abbey. Here the Abbott exercised his right to hold manorial courts and administer justice within the lordship of Furness as authorised by the abbey’s foundation charter of 1127. Dalton was the first Town in the area to be granted a Market Charter in 1239. Dalton has approximately 8,000 residents at the current time and is ideally located less than thirty miles from the Lake District and close to the Irish Sea coast and nature reserves.

Dalton with Newton Town Council was established in 1987 to serve the population of Dalton and Newton and has 10 elected members. The Council are not currently service providers but aim to enhance the area in which we live for the benefit of both residents and visitors to the Town.
