Car Loans Tecumseh

Tecumseh (2006 population 24,223[1]) is a town on Lake St. Clair east of Windsor, Ontario, Canada.

Originally known as Ryegate Postal Station when it was first settled in 1792, Tecumseh was renamed in 1912 after the Shawnee tribe leader of the same name. It was officially incorporated as a town in 1921. Tecumseh had a large Franco-Ontarian population, and when nearby Windsor started to grow into the area, there arose conflict between the Loyalists and the Canadiens.

In 1999, as part of a reorganization of Essex County, Tecumseh was merged with the Village of St. Clair Beach, and the Township of Sandwich South into the Town of Tecumseh. In 2003, the City of Windsor annexed approximately 23 km² from the Town of Tecumseh. Now considered to be a bedroom community of Windsor, Tecumseh is often cited as an example of urban sprawl; new subdivisions have developed on some of Canada's most valuable agricultural land beginning in the late 1980s.

Food processing is a major industry in Tecumseh, as Carriere owns a food processing plant near the heart of the town. The plant originally was Green Giant and Pilsbury/Green Giant sold in the late 1990s to Family Traditions. Family Tradition recently sold the food processing plant to Carriere.
