Peterborough, Administrative city in Ontario, Canada
Peterborough sits on the Otonabee River, 125 kilometers northeast of Toronto, encompassing residential neighborhoods, commercial districts, and educational institutions.
Originally established as Scott's Plains in 1819, the settlement received its current name in recognition of Peter Robinson, who directed early settlement initiatives.
The Canadian Canoe Museum in Peterborough exhibits hundreds of watercraft and artifacts that represent the maritime traditions of different North American communities.
The Peterborough Transit system operates multiple bus routes throughout the city, connecting residential areas with downtown, shopping centers, and educational facilities.
The Peterborough Lift Lock, constructed in 1904, remains the highest hydraulic lift lock in the world, raising boats 19.8 meters above the Trent-Severn Waterway.
