'''Tecumseh''' ({{IPAc-en|t|ᵻ|ˈ|k|ʌ|m|s|i}}) is a town in [[Essex County, Ontario|Essex County]] in [[Southwestern Ontario]], Canada. It is on [[Lake Saint Clair (North America)|Lake St. Clair]] east of [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]] and had a population of roughly 23,300 as of the 2021 census according to Statistics Canada. It is part of the Windsor census metropolitan area, and is a part of the Windsor-Essex County region along with the towns of [[Amherstburg]], [[Essex, Ontario|Essex]], [[Kingsville, Ontario|Kingsville]], [[LaSalle, Ontario|LaSalle]], and the municipalities of [[Lakeshore, Ontario|Lakeshore]] and [[Leamington, Ontario|Leamington.]] Tecumseh was originally a [[Franco-Ontarian]] settlement.

[[Food processing]] is a major industry in Tecumseh, as [[Bonduelle]] owns a food processing plant near the town. The plant was built by [[Green Giant]] in 1931. Green Giant sold the plant in the late 1990s to Family Tradition Foods, who sold it to Carrière Foods in 2006. Carrière Foods was purchased in 2007 by [[Bonduelle]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.pressreader.com/canada/montreal-gazette/20070607/281943128460688 |publisher=[[Montreal Gazette]] |date=June 7, 2007 |first=Mark |last=Cardwell |language=en |title=Carrière Foods sold to French firm |via=[[PressReader]] |access-date=2023-04-21 |archive-date=November 4, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181104050152/https://www.pressreader.com/canada/montreal-gazette/20070607/281943128460688 |url-status=live}}</ref>

Tecumseh is surrounded by Lake Erie, Lake St. Clair and the Detroit River.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.tecumseh.ca/business/economic-development/climate|title=Climate|date=2009-02-18|publisher=Town of Tecumseh|language=en|access-date=2018-11-04|archive-date=November 4, 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181104050150/http://www.tecumseh.ca/business/economic-development/climate|url-status=dead}}</ref> [[Detroit]] is easily accessible to Tecumseh residents by the [[Ambassador Bridge]] or the [[Detroit–Windsor Tunnel]], both of which are located within the neighbouring municipality of [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]].

The town is named after [[Tecumseh]], an 18th-century [[Shawnee]] chief and warrior who promoted resistance to the expansion of the United States onto Native American lands.

==History==

The building of St. Anne’s (Catholic) Parish Church on the corner of Lesperance and Tecumseh Road in 1858 was the start of the Village of Tecumseh. Settled by a few French families who crossed over from the Detroit River. Land Grants to Charles Lesperance in 1796 from the British Administrators of the District of Hess is Tecumseh’s start. Later the building of the [[Great Western Railway (Ontario)|Great Western Railway]] brought job seekers and more settlement. The town became an important railway depot and stopover for travellers. County residents took horse and buggy into Tecumseh and then transferred onto the train, journeying by rail the rest of the way into Windsor. Several hotels were established in Tecumseh to accommodate travellers. The Bedell Hotel, the Soulliere Inn, the Hebert and the Hotel Perreault were some of the places most frequented by travellers and locals alike.

The French were the original settlers of Tecumseh, the majority of them descendants of the Frenchmen who had lived in the area before the arrival of British administrators after the Paris Peace Agreement in 1763. Those that had been living on their River farms kept them. Today the street names from Ouellette Avenue in Windsor to Lesperance Road in Tecumseh are a reminder of the men that cleared the land and farmed it.

As the town of [[Windsor, Ontario|Windsor]] grew, the overflow of immigrants settled in Tecumseh and other peripheral regions. Indicative of the change was the mix-up created by the introduction of the tomato to the area of Tecumseh. The first post office was opened in 1870, located on the northeast corner of Tecumseh and Lesperance Roads.  Called Ryegate Station, its first Postmaster was a Mr. (Joseph) Christie.  It was renamed "Tecumseh" in November 1875.<ref>{{cite web |title=Post Offices and Postmasters: Item 11662 |url=https://www.bac-lac.gc.ca/eng/discover/postal-heritage-philately/post-offices-postmasters/Pages/item.aspx?IdNumber=11662& |publisher=Library and Archives Canada |access-date=March 24, 2022}}</ref> Some of the first businesses in Tecumseh included a lumber mill operated by J.B. Cada; a grocery store operated by Arthur Cecile; a cheese factory on Banwell Road operated by Joseph Breault; a bakery owned by John Dugell; three butcher shops; a canning factory and a brewery eventually closed under [[Carling Brewery]]. In 1921 it was felt that Tecumseh was not getting its fair share of improvements in proportion to the taxes paid to the municipality of Sandwich East. A group of people headed by Malcolm Clapp petitioned the legislature to separate from the township and incorporate as the Town of Tecumseh with a population of 978. Dr. Paul Poisson was appointed as the first mayor of the town. The real growth in Tecumseh occurred in 1931 with the establishment of the Green Giant Factory as Fine Foods of Canada. Green Giant (now Bonduelle) is still located in Tecumseh and continues to employ full and part-time workers.

As the population grew, so did the demands for services. In 1922 a fire chief was appointed although no fire department was in existence, the fires were fought by town volunteers. The [[Ontario Provincial Police]] started policing the town in 1948 with 2 officers.

In 1999, as part of a reorganization of [[Essex County, Ontario|Essex County]], Tecumseh was merged with the Village of [[St. Clair Beach, Ontario|St. Clair Beach]], and the [[Sandwich South Township, Ontario|Township of Sandwich South]] into the Town of Tecumseh. In 2003, the [[Windsor, Ontario|City of Windsor]] annexed approximately {{convert|23|km2}} (located south and east of the Windsor International Airport)<ref>{{cite web | url=https://windsorstar.com/opinion/columnists/henderson-so-sweet-to-see-windsor-and-its-suburban-neighbours-on-a-roll | title=Henderson says it's sweet to see Windsor and its suburban neighbours on a roll | work=windsorstar }}</ref> 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.

==Communities==
Besides the town proper of Tecumseh itself, the town of Tecumseh comprises a number of villages and hamlets, including Fairplay, [[Maidstone, Ontario|Maidstone]], [[Oldcastle, Ontario|Oldcastle]], Paquette, Paquette Corners (partially) and [[St. Clair Beach, Ontario|St. Clair Beach]] (formerly from Maidstone Township).
