Following the American Revolution, the British established a new colony of 'Upper Canada' to provide land for the resettlement of the 'Loyalists'. All of the land in the Whitby area was patented in the 1790’s to the people with connections in the fledging administration in York (Toronto). These people were supposed to bring in settlers for the land, but few did and the land was sold to those who could afford to buy, mostly Americans.
'Jabez Lynde' bought his land in 1804.
