New Tecumseth

New Tecumseth is a town in Simcoe County, south-central Ontario, formed from three main communities: Alliston, Beeton, and Tottenham. The area blends residential neighborhoods, manufacturing facilities, and open spaces across its territory.

The town came into being on January 1, 1991, through the merger of Alliston, Tecumseth Township, and the villages of Beeton and Tottenham. This administrative fusion brought together several long-established communities.

The name honors Tecumseh, a Shawnee leader who fought alongside British forces during the War of 1812. This historical connection remains part of how locals understand their community's identity.

The town sits roughly northwest of Toronto and connects to major transportation routes. Visitors will find schools, parks, and shopping spread across the different neighborhoods that make up the area.

A high school bears the name of a Nobel Prize winner, highlighting the town's connection to scientific achievement. This detail shows how the community preserves its link to an important historical figure.
