Bowmanville Detached Homes for Rent

In the early 1800s, there was a small settlement approximately 80 km’s east of the city of Toronto and in 1856, this town was officially named Newcastle. A small-knit community, Newcastle remained small, an agriculture center, and a charming town until the 1900s when a sudden burst of development for residential properties expanded in and around the town. The expansion of housing was due to people wanting to work in Toronto, but still live in the country. In 1974, with many municipalities coming together to formulate the Region of Durham, Newcastle was incorporated into the mix and became the official eighth municipality. It wasn’t until 1993 that Newcastle was renamed Clarington, which the name was created from the two townships of Darlington & Clarke.
