About Delmont
Delmont was initially known as Salem Crossroads. Several areas in and around the borough still carry the Salem reference.
Major navigational roads were built through the area in the late 1700s, and what is now local Route 66 was built in 1800.
The Northern Turnpike was completed in 1818, which formed the "crossroads". Delmont was a busy stagecoach stop until trains replaced stagecoaches in the 1850s.
The Salem Crossroads Historical Restoration Society is active in maintaining local history.
In 1980, the society purchased Shields Farm, a local farm that had been a tannery in the 1800s and which had been well preserved. The borough holds a fall Apple 'N Arts festival on the site.
For many years, a Christmas pilgrimage was held on Pittsburgh Street; the pilgrimage is now also held at the farm.
Aside from the historical genesis of the town as a toll intersection and stagecoach stop, one of Delmont's notable characteristics is that it is the meeting point of two major highways, U.S. Route 22 and State Route 66.
For many years, these roads did not directly intersect but were linked by a cloverleaf interchange. Delmont became known for this interchange; many local merchants incorporated "Cloverleaf" into their business names as a result.
Recently, the "cloverleaf" system was dismantled and a Single Point Urban Interchange was built in its place. This change was made to accommodate a plan to widen Route 22, which is one of the most heavily traveled roads in Pennsylvania
