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 centre was established by Whitby's founder Peter Perry.
Whitby's chief asset was its fine natural harbour 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 Harbour to Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay, to bring trade and settlement through the harbour to and from the rich hinterland to the north. The Town of Whitby was chosen as the seat of government for the newly formed County of Ontario in 1852, and incorporated in 1855. In the 1870s a railway, the "Port Whitby and Port Perry Railway", was constructed from Whitby harbour to Port Perry, and later extended to Lindsay as the "Whitby, Port Perry and Lindsay Railway."
This short multi cache will bring you to the shelter at Rotary Sunrise Park. You are looking for two dedication plaques below the benchs on the north side of the shelter.
What are the last two digits in the year of birth for Christine Glover. This number is AA
What is the year of death for May Halliday This number is BBB
Use this information in this equation to determine the final coodinates.
(AA X 3) - 32= CCC
BBBB - 1172 = DDD
The final cache is located at N 43 51.CCC W 78 55.DDD
As always, use caution around muggles as this is a popular location at all times of the year. There is plenty of parking and you can also access this park by biking along the waterfront trail.
When strolling to the final for this cache, you might also want to make note of this multi cache GC2D56D as you will be walking past all of the stages and can complete two multi caches at the same time.
Congratulations to Capers4 on getting First to Find.
