Car Shipping Orillia, Auto Transport Ontario
Orillia, on the shores of two connected lakes, Couchiching and Simcoe, both on the Trent-Severn Waterway 135 kilometers directly north of Toronto, calls itself the “Sunshine City.” In Stephen Leacock’s 1912 book Sunshine Sketches of a Little Town, Orillia was the basis for the fictional town of Mariposa. Since the book’s publication, the city has mimicked Mariposa in many ways. Many local businesses use “Mariposa” in their names. William Bell’s 1989 novel Five Days of the Ghost, also set in Orillia, has many recognizable local landmarks.
The most common theory for the origin of the name “Orillia” is the Spanish word orilla, meaning the shore of a waterway. Names of nearby communities of Spanish origin are Oro for gold and Mono for monkey.
Orillia incorporated as a village in 1867, a town in 1875, and a city in 1969. Orillia was the first municipality in North America to introduce daylight saving time and had the first municipal hydro-electric transmission plant in North America. The 2011 census reported a population of 30,586, a slight increase from 30,259 reported in 2006.
