Kitchener's railroad formerly passed through the town, and the rail embankment is still clearly visible. The British had a district office at Delgo, but later downgraded it to a police post.[2] Opposite from Delgo on the west bank of the Nile is the site of the ancient Nubian town of Sesibi[3] where Amenhotep IV built a temple.[4]
