Dale City was the inspiration of Cecil Don Hylton and his wife Irene. His firm, Hylton Homes began developing homes in Dale City west of I-95 at the conclusion of World War II. The construction stretched from I-95 west to Hoadly Road.
The pictures at the right and immediately below are representative of the older Dale City homes.
Each section (community) along Dale Boulevard was given a name ending in Dale - they proceeded alphabetically from east to west.. Only "I" and "J" were omitted - they are Ashdale, Birchdale, Cloverdale, Darbydale, Evansdale, Forestdale, Glendale, Hillendale, Kerrydale, Lindendale, Mapledale, Nottingdale, Oakdale, Princedale, Ridgedale, Silverdale and Trentdale. All streets in each community had the first letter of that community's name as the first letter of its' name. For example, Hendrick St is in Hillendale.
Mr. and Mrs. Hylton made it possible for returning veterans to purchase a home as they started to build their families. Hylton Homes branched out into new markets, mainly real estate related such as managing retail centers and apartment complexes.
