Streetsville Detached Homes for Rent

In the 16th Century, it was the Algonquian Mississaugas tribes that eventually inhabited the area known now as Mississauga, but they were not alone. The Iroquoian also resided in this area, but they were eventually pushed out by the Mississaugas. By the early 18th Century, the officials that controlled the York Township purchased a sizeable amount of land from the Mississaugas people, which in later years was reversed through a land claim from the Mississaugas and compensation was paid out by the government. However, before that claim was settled for the Mississaugas people, the lands initially purchased were inhabited by United Empire Loyalists, some Americans and New Brunswick Loyalists. With the rise of population came another land purchase from the government to the Mississaugas, which created communities: Streetsville, Barbertown, Derry West, Meadowvale Village, Mount Charles, Britannia, Elmbank, Burnhamthorpe and Malton. The Mississaugas were removed from the area and relocated to a newly developed reserve in Grand River Valley. The 1920’s was the ‘cottage rave’ for new development along Lake Ontario shorelines and it was not until 1937 that lands were utilized to construct the Malton Airport. The amalgamation of Cooksville, Erindale, Meadowvale Village, Malton, Lakeview, Lorne Park, Sheridan, Clarkson and Dixie to formulate all of the Town of Mississauga happened in 1968, and in 1974, Streetsville and Port Credit were added into the mix. The year 1974 was the year that the Square One Shopping Centre was opened for business. To expand Mississauga even further in 2010, land was purchased from the Town of Milton (an extra 400 acres placed a new border for Mississauga that reached Highway 407).Oakville and Milton sit west and southwest of Mississauga, south and southeast is Lake Ontario and north is Brampton and to the east, the lovely city of Toronto. Mississauga currently possesses 23 neighbourhoods & townships. The City of Mississauga is considered to be an ever-growing multicultural city with an always increasing population (3rd most populous city that is on the Great Lakes). One of the contributing factors to the substantial growth of Mississauga is the amount of diverse and major industries that have called Mississauga home (equipment, banking, transportation parts manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, finance, IT development, etc.). This growth has placed Mississauga as the 6th largest city in all of Canada, centrally located in the Greater Toronto Area (west of the city of Toronto). Toronto Pearson International Airport, which is Canada’s busiest airport, is located in Mississauga, which also drives the employment rate up.Real estate for sale in Mississauga is a beautiful collection of large estate homes, townhomes, detached and semi-detached houses, family townhouses and condominiums.
