Pembroke, ON

Driving through this beautiful rural town called Pembroke ~
Pembroke (/ˈpɛmbrʊk/ PEM-brook) is a city in the Canadian province of Ontario at the confluence of the Muskrat River and the Ottawa River in the Ottawa Valley. Pembroke is the location of the administrative headquarters of Renfrew County, though the city itself is politically independent. It is 145 kilometres (90 mi) northwest of Ottawa.
History
The first European settler to the area now known as Pembroke was Daniel Fraser in 1823, who squatted on land that was discovered to have been granted to a man named Abel Ward. Ward later sold the land (where Moncion's Metro Supermarket is located) to Fraser, and nearby Fraser Street is named after the family.
Peter White, a veteran of the Royal Navy arrived in 1828, squatting beside Fraser on the land where Dairy Queen is now located. Other settlers followed, attracted by the growing lumbering operations of the area.
Originally named Miramichi,[2] Pembroke became a police village in 1856. Pembroke is indirectly named after Sidney Herbert, First Admiralty Secretary from 1841 to 1845 and son of George Herbert, 11th Earl of Pembroke.

DRIVE + EXPLORE: ...C'mon!... We need an explanation of what we are seeing!... If you move the camera sideways too fast... the image gets blurred... We need to see a map of where the town is located!... If the correct name of the town is PEMBROKE... why the misspelling?...

Thanks for catching that typo in the name.. it’s been corrected. And your observations well received; working to make the channel better gradually. However, a general description of the town is in the description.
