Tecumseh - Ontario, Canada - Population Signs on Waymarking.com

From a small settlement of three families in 1792, Tecumseh, then known as Ryegate, has become a prosperous and flourishing community. In 1912 Ryegate was renamed Tecumseh in honour of Tecumseh, leader of the Shawnee Tribe who was killed at battle in the War of 1812.
The creation of Tecumseh Road in 1838 and the establishment of the Great Western Railway opened up the area for settlement. The town became an important railway depot and stopover for travellers.

Town of Tecumseh currently has a population of 24,000, it is rapidly growing community that offers many fine restaurants, shopping areas, medical facilities, and a growing industrial and commercial sector. Tecumseh is known for it's annual Corn Festival and has received official distinction as one of the Top 50 Festivals in Ontario as recognized by Festival and Events Ontario. With over 3000 festivals taking place in Ontario each year, this is quite an honor for the Town, the Committee and all those community partners that make the festival the success that it is.
