History

Toronto Township was formed on August 2, 1805 when officials from York purchased 84,000 acres of land from the Mississaugas for 1,000 pounds and in 1806 the area was opened for settlement.
Formed in 1974, Mississauga is now recognized as Canada's 6th largest and
fastest growing major city with a population of 695,000 residents representing cultures from around the world.
