Peterborough County Ontario
Peterborough County was established 1838 from Durham County and Northumberland County. It was named after the town of Peterborough.
- Prior to 1838 - Durham County and Northumberland County
- 1838-1841 - part of Newcastle District
- 1841-1849 - part of Colbourne District
The first settlers arrived in 1818 from England. Settlement though was slow until Peter
Robinson's Settlers emigration scheme brought an influx of Irish & British settlers to the area starting in 1825. They settled mostly in the southern townships. It wasn't until the 1850's that settlement extended to the northern townships.
