About Delta

Delta is a quiet, close-knit rural town in Cape Girardeau County, home to fewer than 400 residents. Sitting near the northern edge of the Missouri Bootheel, the community originally got its name from a triangular railroad junction shaped like the Greek letter delta. Today, it offers a peaceful, slow-paced lifestyle centered around the local Delta R-V schools and surrounding farmland. With Route 25 running right through town, neighbors enjoy wide-open country views along with an easy drive to nearby regional hubs.
