The following are a few facts from that page. Much more information is available at the site The founding of Delta is said to have originated with a railroad servicing facility called Akin sometime prior to 1905-07. A gentleman named James A. Melville, an engineer by profession was instrumental in helping the Melville Irrigation Company to divert water from the Sevier River to our area. The community was named Melville to honor him. At some point between 1905-1911, the name was changed to Burtner because the U.S. Postal Service objected to the name Melville due to a similarity in name to a town called Millville near the northern Utah town of Logan. Another name given the town was Burtner after a railroad employee. After some objections, there was a contest to officially name the town. Delta was submitted meaning a fertile area near a river's mouth. In 1911, Burtner was incorporated and the name was changed at the same time to Delta. Delta became a city in 1940.
