About Delson
The city is named after the Delson family, who were early settlers in the area. The name "Delson" comes from a French-Canadian surname which was derived from an English place name meaning "valley of daisies". In 1783, Jean-Baptiste Désilets (1748–1824) and his wife Marie-Josephte Corriveau (1751–1832), both born at Quebec City, moved to this region with their children: Joseph (born 1777), Antoine (born 1779) and Marguerite. They settled on land granted by Governor Haldimand to Joseph Broussard dit Beausoleil de Bourdon for having participated in the defense of Fort Saint Louis against General Carleton's troops during November 1696.
