Clarington Family Law and Divorce Lawyer
The Municipality of Clarington
The Municipality of Clarington is a municipality in Ontario, Canada in the Regional Municipality of Durham.
The population of Clarington is approximately 77,820.
It gained its present name in 1994 after having been known as the Town of Newcastle from 1974-93. The name change was intended to alleviate long-standing confusion between the municipality as a whole and the included village of the same name. (It was confusing to many that Bowmanville had a larger population than “Newcastle Village”, and it also housed the former Town of Newcastle’s municipal offices, causing some to believe the town should have all been called “Bowmanville” instead of “Newcastle” during that period).
The name “Clarington” is a portmanteau of the names of the two historical townships that made up the geographic area: “Clarke” and “Darlington”.
It is part of the Oshawa, Ontario Census Metropolitan Area.
Major employers in Clarington include the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, General Motors in Oshawa, and several medium-to-large sized manufacturing businesses; however, most residents travel to points west in Durham Region or to Toronto for employment.
