Vibrant Communities

Peterborough County offers a unique advantage for businesses and investors: a diverse rural region enriched by urban access. Home to eight dynamic townships and two proud First Nations communities—Curve Lake and Hiawatha—the County is a place where opportunity meets quality of life. 

The County’s communities are supported by their proximity to a mid-sized urban centre, providing access to a skilled workforce, post-secondary institutions, and critical services—without sacrificing the space, affordability, and lifestyle benefits that rural regions are known for. 

From lakefront communities and agricultural heartlands to emerging commercial and industrial hubs, each area brings its own strengths to a connected, resilient local economy. Here, businesses benefit from collaborative leadership, regional connectivity, and the room to grow. 

Explore the communities that make Peterborough County a forward-thinking, investment-ready region—where rural opportunity and urban access go hand in hand.
