Pickering is an ancient market town and civil parish in the Ryedale area of North Yorkshire, England, on the border of the North York Moors National Forest. Historically part of the North Riding of Yorkshire, it sits at the foot of the moors, neglecting the Vale of Pickering to the south. According to legend the town was founded by King Peredurus around 270 BC; nevertheless, the community as it exists today is of middle ages beginning. The legend has it that the king lost his ring as well as accused a young maiden of swiping it, yet later that day the ring was discovered in a pike caught in the River Costa for his supper. The king was so pleased to locate his ring he married the young maiden; the name Pike-ring altered over the years to Pickering. It is a good tale informed to fit the name, yet it is not the origin.
