	The '''Canton of ~~Whyt Whey~~''' is an [[SCA]] [[branch]] defined by the borders of the [[mundane]] County of New York (Manhattan Island and Marble Hill). It is a [[canton]] of the [[Crown Province]] of [[Ostgardr]], in the [[East Kingdom]].		The '''Canton of Appleholm''' is an [[SCA]] [[branch]] defined by the borders of the [[mundane]] County of New York (Manhattan Island along with adjacent islands and Marble Hill). It is a [[canton]] of the [[Crown Province]] of [[Ostgardr]], in the [[East Kingdom]]. Until December 2023, it was known as the Canton of Whyt Whey.

	== History ==		== History ==
	The origins of the [[Canton]] of Whyt Whey lay in the backyard of [[Sir]] [[Edward Zifran of Gendy]] in the 1980's. He would hold [[fighter practice]] back there and afterwards everyone would go to a restaurant across the street called P.J. Reynolds (now defunct). Eventually the fighter practice was no longer held at his house, but the gathering at the restaurant on Tuesday nights remained.

He would hold [[fighter practice]] back there and afterwards everyone would go to a restaurant across the street called P.J. Reynolds (now defunct). Eventually the fighter practice was no longer held at his house, but the gathering at the restaurant on Tuesday nights remained.

	Sometime about 1988, someone looked around and said words to the effect of "hey, we could start a [[canton]] here!" The original thought was to call the canton "Grate Whyte Whey" as a [[pun]] on the misspelling of [[Ostgardr]] that would mean "cheese farm" and the nickname for Broadway. ~~The~~ [[herald]]s ~~allowed~~ only the last two words to be the [[name]] of the canton.

The original thought was to call the canton "Grate Whyte Whey" as a [[pun]] on the misspelling of [[Ostgardr]] that would mean "cheese farm" and the nickname for Broadway. A [[herald]] suggested that "Grate" was unregistrable, so only the last two words were submitted as the [[name]] of the canton.

		⚫	There was much debate over the [[device]] for the canton. Some of the founding members were adamant about it having [[cockroach]]es, that most indomitable of local fauna, on it. Others were grossed out by the idea. The cockroach won, and the initial [[College of Arms\|registered]] device is "[[Sable]], a [[cockroach]] dismembered within a [[laurel wreath]] and on a [[chief]] [[embattled]] [[argent]], a [[pomme]]."

	== [[Event]]s ==
	Being located in the county of New York (the island of Manhattan and our mainland territory of Marble Hill), few full-size, and no [[camping event]]s have ever occurred there. Possibly the largest [[event]] was the "May Games" event held in Central Park, with the feast held at the West Side YMCA. The group does many [[demo]]s for [[school]]s, and has had a presence at the [[Fort Tryon Park Medieval Festival]] for several years. From 1992-2005 the weekday fighter practices were held in Union Square, and many news organizations, TV stations, and independent journalists, photographers, and videographers have acquired words, pictures, and footage of SCA [[member]]s and SCA [[fighting]] there.
