A Brief History of Oshawa, OntarioOshawa began as a fur trading post. In the early 18th century, the Mississauga First Nation, part of the Ojibwa Nation, would carry bundles of fur to where Oshawa Harbour is now located. In 1750, the French built a trading post near the mouth of the Oshawa Creek. In 1842, the name "Oshawa" was suggested, meaning "that point at the crossing of the stream where the canoe was exchanged for the trail." I think we can all agree that "Oshawa" is much easier to say! In 1850, Oshawa was incorporated as a village; in 1879 as a town; and in 1924, Oshawa was elevated to City status.
