History

In 1819, Timothy Street financed the survey of what is now Streetsville. By 1829, the local post office adopted the name “Streetville” in honor of Timothy Street. Incorporated as a village in 1859 and as a town in 1862, Streetsville saw industrial growth until the 1850s when railway lines bypassed the town. By the 1900s, it transitioned into a rural community. In 1974, Streetsville merged into the City of Mississauga, preserving its historic charm.
