Car Shipping Peterborough, Auto Transport Ontario
Peterborough on the Otonabee River 125 kilometers northeast of Toronto is the urban namesake of Peter Robinson, a Canadian politician who promoted the first major immigration to the area. In 1825, 1,878 Irish immigrants arrived from the City of Cork under an experimental emigration plan managed by Robinson to transport poor Irish families to Upper Canada.
Peterborough’s sobriquet “The Electric City” reflects the importance of technology and manufacturing in the local economy, which hosts multinationals Siemens, Rolls Royce, and General Electric and local technology businesses Fisher Gauge and Bryston. The population of the city was 78,698 as of the 2011 census.
Peterborough incorporated in 1850 as a town with a population of 2,191. In the late 1850s, a substantial canoe-building industry grew up in and around Peterborough. The Peterborough Canoe Company in 1893 built a factory on the river, and by 1930 25 percent of all boat-building industry workers were in the Peterborough area. Johnson Motor Company/Outboard Marine makes boat engines as outgrowths of the canoe industry. In 1905, Peterborough incorporated as a city with a population of about 14,300.
No longer the predominant local economic sector, manufacturing remains important in food processing, automotive components, electronics, and biotechnology. General Electric and Quaker Oats continue to maintain large operations in Peterborough. The Peterborough Regional Health Center is the largest employer. Other notable employers are Trent University and the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.
The Trans-Canada Highway as Provincial Highways 7 and 115 passes through the southern part of the city. Peterborough Transit’s central terminal serves as a regional hub for Coach Canada routes, and Greyhound Lines of Canada also operates an inter-city terminal. The Government of Ontario (GO) Transit established a bus service from Peterborough to Oshawa in September 2009. Peterborough Airport for recreational and business uses has about 31,000 arrivals and departures annually.
