Delta Historic District - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Delta's Historic District consists of a single 1 1/4 mile long road designated as Main Street. The district portrays the wealth of an isolated "boom town" and its relationship to the slate industry which fostered it.

The majority of Delta's streetscape was constructed between 1875-1895. Records from 1844 list only four buildings sited within the present borough limits.

In the borough's early years, the main industry was local slate quarries. Today, many sidewalks made of slate from these local quarries still exist within the borough limits.
