Whitby Ontario, A Great Place To Live

 Are you Moving to Whitby?

Whitby (now the Town of Whitby) was named after the seaport town of Whitby, in Yorkshire England. In addition to Whitby, Yorkshire, the Town of Whitby is also officially twinned with Longueuil Quebec and Feldkirch, Austria.

Whitby, Ontario

When the township was originally surveyed in 1792, the surveyor, from the northern part of England, named the townships east of Toronto after towns in northeastern England: York, Scarborough, Pickering, Whitby and Darlington. The original name of “Whitby” is Danish dating from about 867 CE when the Danes invaded Britain. It is a contraction of “Whitteby,” meaning “White Village.” The allusion may be to the white lighthouse on the pier at Whitby, Yorkshire, and also at Whitby, Ontario.’ Although settlement dates back to 1800, it was not until 1836 that a downtown business center was established by Whitby’s founder Peter Perry.

Whitby’s chief asset was its fine natural harbor on Lake Ontario, from which grain from the farmland to the north was first shipped in 1833. In the 1840s a road was built from Whitby Harbor to Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay to bring trade and settlement through the harbor to and from the rich hinterland to the north.

Whitby is also the site of Trafalgar Castle School,  a private girls’ school founded in 1874. The building, constructed as an Elizabethan-style castle in 1859–62 as a private residence for the Sheriff of Ontario County, is a significant architectural landmark and Whitby’s only provincial historic site marked with a plaque. The school celebrated its 125th anniversary in 1999.

Situated on the north shore of Lake Ontario, Whitby is the fastest growing municipality in the Region of Durham. This progressive community of 92,000 offers residents a lifestyle characterized by a small town atmosphere in conjunction with the amenities of a large urban center.  The Town of Whitby maintains a strong and diverse industrial base that covers a wide range of industries such as plastics, packaging, automotive, pharmaceuticals, and telecommunications.

As Whitby continues to grow, so has “Your MiMortgageTeam”. We are a Mortgage force of 11 full-time Licensed Mortgage Agents serving all of Durham Region and the GTA.
