It was settled by primarily ethnic British colonists, starting in the 1770s. The British took over Canada following defeat of the French in the Seven Years' War, known in the Colonial America as the French and Indian War. They likely completed survey of the township about 1776; British colonial settlers were steadily migrating into the area from eastern areas of Canada. The town was named after Pickering, North Yorkshire.Wikipedia       Home   Ontario - P index
