About Peterborough County
The area
Peterborough County is a mostly rural county in east-central Ontario, about 90 minutes northeast of Toronto. Its eight townships (Asphodel-Norwood, Cavan Monaghan, Douro-Dummer, Havelock-Belmont-Methuen, North Kawartha, Otonabee-South Monaghan, Selwyn and Trent Lakes) cover about 3,700 km² and had about 62,400 people in 2021, with Selwyn the largest at about 18,700. The City of Peterborough (about 83,700) sits in the middle but governs itself, and Curve Lake and Hiawatha First Nations are also within the county's borders. Farming is the backbone of the rural economy; the north, around Kawartha Highlands and Petroglyphs provincial parks, is rougher ground of small lakes, wetlands, forest and rock barrens. The Trent-Severn Waterway, a 386 km lock system linking Lake Ontario and Georgian Bay, runs through the Kawartha Lakes here.
History
The county sits on Treaty 20 land and the territory of the Michi Saagiig Anishinaabeg, within the traditional lands of the Williams Treaties First Nations, which include Curve Lake, Hiawatha and Alderville. Petroglyphs Provincial Park protects the largest known group of Indigenous rock carvings in Canada, a sacred site known as the Teaching Rocks. The county began as the District of Colborne in 1838 and took its present shape in 1862, when Haliburton and Victoria counties were split off.
Services and access
Peterborough Regional Health Centre in the city is the regional hospital for the county, with emergency care and specialist programs including stroke, cardiac, cancer and renal care. Highway 28 runs north toward Highway 118 and the communities beyond. Peterborough Regional Airport, within the county, handles regional, corporate and cargo flying; scheduled flights are out of Toronto. The county names agriculture, small-scale manufacturing and tourism as its key sectors, and Trent University and Fleming College are in the city.
Land and climate
Rural lots rely on septic systems, which the local township inspects. On the Trent-Severn Waterway, Parks Canada manages water levels at the locks and dams and handles permits for shoreline work below its navigation limit.
Before you buy
Each of the eight townships has its own zoning by-law and handles building permits, zoning amendments and minor variances, so start with the township. The County Official Plan now covers seven of the townships; Cavan Monaghan keeps its own. New lots are created by severance through the County's Land Division office, which offers a free preliminary review of a proposal. Work near water, streams or wetlands in the Otonabee Region watershed needs a permit from Otonabee Conservation, which also maps floodplains by address and takes inquiries from people planning to buy.
