Oshawa, Industrial city in Ontario, Canada

Located 60 kilometers east of Toronto on Lake Ontario, Oshawa functions as the eastern anchor of the Greater Toronto Area and Golden Horseshoe region.

The McLaughlin Carriage Company, established in 1876, evolved into General Motors of Canada, making Oshawa a central location for automotive manufacturing in North America.

The Robert McLaughlin Gallery exhibits Canadian art collections while the Canadian Automotive Museum presents the country's motor vehicle heritage through extensive displays.

The city connects to Toronto through GO Transit services and major highways 401 and 407, with three post-secondary institutions serving the education sector.

The Parkwood National Historic Site maintains original 1920s architectural features and gardens from the residence of automobile manufacturer R. Samuel McLaughlin.
