The Peterboro gained its name from association with the area around Peterborough, Ontario. It was here that the carpentered canoe built with European woodworking skills was first perfected, about in the 1800’s. Several builders and designers were in the forefront of early efforts to develop the wooden canoe, among them Thomas Gordon of Lakefield, J.S. Stephenson and William English of Peterborough, and Daniel Herald of Gore's Landing on Rice Lake. During the decades that followed, the Peterborough Canoe Company gradually earned its own association with the Peterboro canoe. Model kit hull construction: Strip Planking.
