Pickering has a rich history that dates back thousands of years. Originally named after the town of Pickering in Yorkshire, England, and was inhabited by the Iroquoian First Nation people. The area later attracted French missionaries, fur traders, and Loyalists who established the town in 1811. The beautiful beaches made it a popular summer spot. In 1870s, the Frenchman's Bay Harbour Company build a lighthouse, wharf, and grain elevator which attracted settlers to form a small village. Pickering had a rapid development Post-World War II. In the 1950s, thre was an influx of new residents, and major housing developments rised. As Toronto's housing became too cramped for growing families, many chose Pickering for its spacious suburban lifestyle.
