Newton is a residential neighbourhood located in north east Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. It is named for Reverend William Newton who arrived in Edmonton in 1875. The Anglican canon served the people of Edmonton until 1900. The Hermitage, a hospital he founded just east of the old town, is now the Hermitage area of Edmonton. The neighbourhoods of Newton and Canon are named after him. The neighbourhood is bounded on the south by Alberta (118) Avenue, on the north by the Yellowhead Trail, on the east by 50 Street, and on the west by 58 Street.
