Dalton is an electoral ward in the metropolitan borough of Kirklees, in West Yorkshire, England, forming part of the urban area around Huddersfield. It is largely residential with a mix of Victorian terraces and later housing, sitting close enough to the town centre to be popular with commuters while retaining local high streets and green patches.
Like much of the Huddersfield area, Dalton bears the imprint of the 19th-century textile industry, with former mill sites and local historical interest; today the ward blends small-scale manufacturing and service businesses with active community groups, parks and schools, producing a socially mixed neighbourhood with a strong community feel.
