History of Oshawa

In the early 1800s, the Oshawa Harbour, situated at the mouth of the Oshawa Creek, was an important First Nations trading route. By 1842, European settlers had formed a community here, and a post office was established. The post office was given the First Nations name “Oshawa”, which translated means, “that point at the crossing of the stream where the canoe was exchanged for the trail”. Oshawa was incorporated as a Village in 1850, then a Town in 1854, and finally a City in 1994.

Over the years, Oshawa has been the home of some of Canada’s most celebrated national icons: For starters, the McLaughlin Motor Car Company, the forerunner to General Motors of Canada began in Oshawa. This company was founded by Robert Samuel McLaughlin who built a magnificent home called Parkwood Estate, which is located in downtown Oshawa, at 2750 Simcoe Street North. Parkwood Estate is now a public museum. This 55 room mansion was featured on A & E’s “American Castles”, and is designated as a national historic site.
