Torquay’s history

Collection

Torquay began in 1912, when the land was sold to the Canadian Pacific Railway for $2,400. The name came at the suggestion of a railroad superintendent's wife, who proposed the English town of Torquay in Devon because, like its namesake, the area had an abundant water supply.
