    CALEDON VILLAGE

    Not to be confused with Caledon East, Caledon Village is located at the intersection of Highway 10 (Hurontario Street) and Regional Road 24 (Charleston Side Road). This Village has been known as Raeburn's Corners, Charlestown, Charleston, Caledon, and lastly Caledon Village. The community was first settled in the 1820s by Irish and Scottish emigrants of the Stubbs, Rayburn and Bell families. Learn more about the history of this Village and some of the great 19th century buildings by taking a stroll back in time with a Self-Guided Heritage Walking Tour. Being at the intersection of two major roadways it would be easy to miss the gems in this Village, but take a second look - a couple of great restaurants, some unique shops, and live theatre make Caledon Village worth a stop.

    BOLTON

    Bolton (2021 population 26,795) is an unincorporated town and is the most populous community in the town of Caledon, Ontario, Canada, in the Regional Municipality of Peel. It is located beside the Humber River, approximately 50 kilometres northwest of Toronto. In regional documents, it is referred to as a 'Rural Service Centre'. It has 26,795 residents in 9,158 total dwellings. The downtown area that historically defined the village is in a valley, through which flows the Humber River. The village extends on either side of the valley to the north and south. Geography The conservation lands' forests dominate a large part of the north and the east, including along the Humber valley. These conservation lands have created several recreational areas, including parts of the Humber Valley Heritage Trail. Farmland and the protected Oak Ridges Moraine dominate the landscape surrounding the village. There are two 400-series highways nearby, including Highway 427, about 9 km southeast (the highway's northern terminus being at Major Mackenzie Drive), and Highway 400, about 14 km east (exit at King Road). To the northwest is the community of Glasgow, which pays homage to an earlier planned settlement also called Glasgow. The older settlement was established in 1855 but merged into Bolton in 1872. Old Glasgow was supposed to house mill workers, it later served as a summer getaway for Toronto’s Jewish community from 1925 to 1950, then home to Edelweiss Ski Club. The planned community has naturalized again and now exists as Edelweiss Park and Humber Valley Heritage Trail. History The community, formerly known as Bolton Mills, was founded around 1822 when James Bolton helped build a flour mill for his relative George Bolton. By 1857, Bolton was a village with a population of 700 in the Township of Albion in Peel County. George Evans was a prominent early settler in the area. It was established on the Humber River, on the line of the proposed Toronto, Grey and Bruce Railway. There were stages to and from Weston. The average price of land was $40 to $50 per acre.

    WELCOME TO CALEDON

    Welcome to Caledon! Caledon is a town in the Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area. The name comes from a shortened form of Caledonia, the Roman name for what is now Scotland.  Caledon is primarily rural with a number of hamlets and small villages, but also contains the larger community of Bolton in its southeastern quadrant, adjacent to York Region. Some spillover urbanization also occurs in the south bordering the City of Brampton. Caledon is the northernmost of three municipalities of Peel Region. The town is northwest of Brampton. According to Statistics Canada the land area is 688 square kilometers which makes Caledon the largest municipality by area in the Greater Toronto Area. By 1869, Belfountain was a village with a population of 100 in the Township of Caledon, Peel County. It was established on the Credit River. There were stagecoaches to Erin and Georgetown. The township was likely named by settlers like Edward Ellis, who came from the area around Caledon, County Tyrone, now in Northern Ireland, or by public voting. In 1974, Caledon's land area roughly tripled in size when Caledon Township was restructured into the present town by amalgamating with the part of Chinguacosy Township north of Mayfield Road (excluding Snelgrove), with the southern half becoming part of Brampton; as well as the villages of Bolton and Caledin East and Albion Township. As part of this restructuring, Peel County became Peel Region. Please enjoy your stay in Caledon.

    MAYFIELD WEST

    Mayfield West (sometimes called Southfields) is a suburban neighbourhood located within the largely rural Town of Caledon, in Peel Region in Ontario, Canada, immediately adjacent to the City of Brampton.  It has a population of 14,800 people.Mayfield West is located in Ward 2 of Caledon.[3] It is located on the northern boundary of Brampton, along Mayfield Road. It is also bounded by Chinguacousy Road to the west, Dixie Road to the east, and has an erratic northern boundary south of Old School Road. Near Highway 10, it surrounds the Brampton neighbourhood of Snelgrove, a former hamlet which extends slightly north of Mayfield, on three sides. Kennedy Road runs north-south through its centre, and is partly lined with storefronts as a new urbanism node within it.Mayfield West takes its name from the former small hamlet (and later ghost town) of Mayfield, which was located several kilometres to the east in the centre of what was Chinguacousy Township before the township was divided between Brampton and Caledon in 1974.[6] It was mostly rural and surrounded by agricultural lands. Small-scale development was happening in Caledon at the time, mostly near established communities, chiefly due to its close proximity to Brampton. In the early 2000s, Mayfield West as a community began to grow as spillover growth from Brampton, and it has become one of the largest communities in Caledon. Currently, there are plans for further expansion of suburban development along the boundary of Brampton, with plans for said development to eventually connect with Bolton; today the largest community in Caledon.
