Located in the heart of Durham in Ontario, Canada, Downtown Whitby is a charming town with historic architecture, eclectic local businesses, and rich heritage. Whitby's downtown neighbourhood was created by local businessman Peter Perry, who built a general store in 1836.

In 1846, he submitted a plan of subdivision that became known as Perry's Plan. In 1854, local businessman, farmer, and political figure Asa Werden helped further develop the neighbourhood with Werden's Plan, which was registered the same year.

Over the past century, Downtown Whitby has emerged as a bustling centre of beautiful Victorian, Regency, and Craftsman-style houses and historical buildings occupied by a diverse variety of local businesses, restaurants, and shops. Located at the "Four Corners" intersection of Brock and Dundas Streets, this historic downtown commercial corridor is a wonderful neighbourhood to explore, shop, and soak in history.
