Description From Owner:

Pop. 10,962. In Hope T., Northumberland C., on L. Ontario at the mouth of the Ganaraska R. and C. Rds. 2 & 28,102 km NE of Toronto.
In 1670 a Cayuga First Nations Peoples village called Ganaraski was on the site and, in a survey in 1791, the village was referred to as Pemetaeeutiang.
By 1778 Peter Smith was operating a trading post, and the place was called Smith's Creek. The first permanent settler was Myndert Harris, a United Empire Loyalist, who arrived in 1793.
By 1817 the place was called Toronto, but to avoid confusion with the former town of York, the name was changed to Port Hope after Col. Henry Hope, Lt.-Gov. of Quebec 1785-1789.
