In this episode of Sauga 50-for-50, we explore how amalgamation united the city of Mississauga 50 years ago in 1974.
Settlers began arriving in the early 1800s, and Toronto Township, now known as Mississauga is often referred to as the city of villages. While most cities expand outward from a central settlement, Mississauga is unique in that it’s made up of crossroad of hamlets and villages, each with their own distinctive history, that were joined together in amalgamation to form the city. Join us in this week's installment of Sauga 50-for-50 to learn more.
