A lot of ongoing work is being done to provide archival and historical information online for educational purposes. Regrettably, due to the volume of the research work involved, it is impossible to provide a complete account of our history. Accepting that, the City has chosen to include only a limited number of articles, facts, figures, records, and photos/illustrations of the history of the City, its citizens, and of the surrounding area. This archival or historical information may include data on people, places, events, services and/or businesses that still exist today, however, the City does not endorse said data, or that which the data represents, by its inclusion.

The City by means of donations has accumulated a large amount of data in its Heritage Collection and has included some of that data on the Site. The City hereby acknowledges the original owners of said data. Other portions of the archival and historical data provided on the Site have been provided with permission, and remains the copyright, of their respective owners.
