The firsf residenf of Whiffier was Jonaihan Bailey who moved info fhe old Thomas ranch house. He be- came fhe presidenf of +he Pickering Land and Wafer Co., which laid ouf fhe 'rownsiie and commenced sell- ing lofs in l887. Every day people arrived from all over The counfry-some To seffle down and ofhers who hoped 'ro sell fheir land la'rer and make a profif. Soon fhe area began fo resemble a fown.- A small 'fwo sfory building was erecled on 'rhe soufhwesf corner of Greenleaf and Philadelphia and the firsf house oulside of ihe Thomas ranch house was erecfed on 'rhe norfhwesf corner of Philadelphia and Milfon Avenues. On The opposife corner sfood 'rhe firsl' resfauranf in fown, a large fenf. On fhe norlheasf corner of Greenleaf and Philadelphia siood a large, far covered 'lank which provided fhe only wafer supply. Over fhe years more and more buildings and homes were erecfed as fhe cify grew: old buildings were iorn down 'ro make way for fhe new. ln l9l6 fhe firsf sireef was paved-Philadelphia Sfreef beiween Painfer and Brighf Avenues. From fhis humble beginning Whiffier has grown info a cify of 34,000 populafion. Today fasi cars glide across paved sfreefs fha? were once choked wi'rh mud everyfime the rains came. Many sioried buildings and modern homes have faken fhe place of small wooden sfrucfures. Yes-if Jonaihan Bailey could refurn foday. he surely would nor recognize fhe place. Buf he would be iusfly proud of fhe liHle sefflemenf ihaf has grown up.
