OSHAWA TRAILBLAZERS

Two visiting Indians were asked for their opinion of this name. They suggested the Indian name "Oshawa", the literal translation of which is "that point at the crossing of the stream where the canoe was exchanged for the trail".

OSHAWA COACHMEN
OSHAWA TRAVELERS
OSHAWA HIGHWAYMEN

In 1876, Robert McLaughlin, who had already established a carriage works business, relocated to Oshawa, drawn by its flourishing rail and harbour facilities. With the help of a $50,000 interest-free loan from the Town of Oshawa, the McLaughlin Carriage Company quickly developed into the largest carriage works in the British Empire.

OSHAWA LAKERS
OSHAWA SHIPPERS

Important harbor is there on Lake Ontario...used heavily for lake shipping.
