Needs pictures,
[edit] Needs information about relationship to England
Bowmanville resides in Clarington, a district which used to be called the "Town of Newcastle", although there is also a "town" called Newcastle which also resides in the former, greater "Town of....". The name change was brought about to eliminate this confusing discrepency, and now also includes the entire region from Clarke to Port Darlington, hence the conjuction of "Clar" from Clarke, and "ington" from Darlington.
However, the town names of Newcastle, and Darlington also reside in an area in England, called Durham County. Something needs to be said about the relationship of these close names between the two countries.
Also, on older maps, there is a point of bluffs west of Port Darlington in Bowmanville called Raby Head, which would seem to be related to the area of Darlington, in Durham County, England in which resides Raby Castle. What kind of historical relationship does this have to the Raby family name? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.252.205.154 (talk) 23:29, 29 December 2007 (UTC)
