Government organisation
The town council is the elected local council for the town of Whitby in North Yorkshire. Whitby is a seaside town, port and civil parish in the Scarborough borough of North Yorkshire, England. Situated at the mouth of the River Esk, Whitby has a maritime, mineral and tourist heritage. Its East Cliff is home to the ruins of Whitby Abbey, where Cædmon, the earliest recognised

English poet, lived. The fishing port emerged during the Middle Ages, supporting important herring and whaling fleets, and was where Captain James Cook learned seamanship. Tourism started in Whitby during the Georgian period and developed with the arrival of the railway in 1839. Its attraction as a tourist destination is enhanced by the proximity of the high ground of the North York Moors national park and the heritage coastline and by association with the horror novel Dracula. Jet and alum were mined locally, and Whitby Jet, which was mined by the Romans and Victorians, became fashionable during the 19th Century.
