History
Delmar is a former site of a bustling railroad depot which closed down when the lines discontinued. Many passengers saw their way through Delmar on rail trips. The old Depot has been restored and is now open to visitors to learn more about Delmar's tie to the rails.

Other
Delmar is a growing community, striving everyday to beautify the community. The Delmar Development Corporation has been the main thrust behind the Depot restoration and development of Norton Park.

A special thanks to the city clerk for providing information and photos to complete this community section.
