According to Brian Winter, Archivist, Whitby Township (now the Town of Whitby) was named after the seaport town of Whitby, Yorkshire, England. When the township was originally surveyed in 1792, the Surveyor, from the northern part of England, named the townships east of Toronto after towns on England's North-East Coast: York, Scarborough, Pickering, Whitby and Darlington. The name "Whitby" is Danish, dating from about 867 A.D. when the Danes invaded Britain. It is a contraction of "Whitteby," meaning "White Village."

During the Second World War, Whitby was the location of Camp X, a secret spy training facility on the shore of Lake Ontario, established by Sir William Stephenson, the "Man Called Intrepid". Although the buildings have since been demolished, a monument was unveiled on the site of Camp X in 1984 by Ontario's Lieutenant-Governor John Black Aird.
