Description From Owner:

Pop. 100. In Douro T., Peterborough C. on C. Rd. 8, 17 Ian NE of Peterborough. This area was settled in the 1820s by Irish immigrants and the township was named in 1823.
When the post office opened in 1856 the community took its name from the T. that had been named, likely by Lt.-Gov. Sir Peregrine Maitland, after the Duke of Wellington, one of whose titles was Baron Douro.
The Duke acquired the title after a victory over French forces when he crossed the Rio Douro at Oporto during the Peninsular War, and drove them from Portugal.
