History of Ajax

Did you know that the Town of Ajax is named after the HMS Ajax, a World War II Royal Navy cruiser? When Ajax separated from the township of Pickering, this new area was named after the powerful British warship. This name is quite suited to the community, as it was home to a Defense Industries Limited (DIL) shell plant which opened in 1941. This production plant employed over 9,000 people who took up residence around the plant, and became the first residents of the newly-created town.

When the new Durham Region was created in 1974, some parts of the Township of Pickering were annexed to the Town of Ajax, such as Pickering Village and the Town of Pickering Beach.

Though Ajax already has a very busy downtown around the intersection of Harwood Avenue and Bayly Street, there are plans underway to revamp this area with the new Ajax City Centre. This area will feature new condo buildings, office towers, shopping malls and plazas along landscaped streets.
