History
Colbyn is named after Colby, Isle of Man, where the suburb's developer, J.B. Kneen, was born. It was surveyed by the Methodist Church of Southern Africa, which also laid out Hatfield, Queenswood, and Kilner Park. The original deeds forbade the sale of liquor in all four neighborhoods.[2]

gollark: Well, you should explain that while it can, technically, do a lot of things, it takes a lot of work to do that and it can be overshadowed pretty easily by dedicated tools/blocks/whatever.
gollark: Oh. Right. Yes. That.
gollark: It can? I thought it was only up to 9x9 or something.
gollark: While they can "do anything", that doesn't mean you can just press three buttons and immediately surround your enemies with a self-replicating turtle swarm.
