In 1870-72, John Marius Wilson's Imperial Gazetteer of England and Wales described Dalegarth like this:
DALEGARTH, an ancient seat on the river Esk, 7 miles ENE of Ravenglass, in Cumberland. It belonged to the Austhwaits from 1345; passed to the Stanleys, and was changed into a farm-house. A famous waterfall near it, now called Stanley force, was formerly called Dalegarth force.
Dalegarth is now part of CUMBERLAND Unitary Authority. Click here for graphs and data of how CUMBERLAND has changed over two centuries. For statistics about Dalegarth itself, go to Statistics.
