	Torbay
		The name Torbay (Tor Bay) refers to a bay of the same name in Devon, England, and was given to Torbay in Newfoundland because the 2 bays resembled each other.
		There is arable land, particularly in the valleys stretching back from the coast, and residents of Torbay grew crops, primarily root vegetables, and kept some livestock.
		In 1820 a road was completed from Torbay to St John's which enabled area farmers to sell their produce in the city.
