Churchville, Peel Regional Municipality, Ontario
- Churchville, Peel Regional Municipality, Ontario
Churchville is a rural hamlet in the south-west corner of Brampton, Ontario. Churchville is now designated as a heritage community because of the Ontario Heritage Act.
It was officially founded in 1815 by Amaziah Church (? 1766 - Sept. 7th 1831) [ From his toumbstone in Churchville Cemetery.] , who built a grain mill on the Credit River. This small area surrounding the mill on the floodplain of the river valley was where the the original town was focused.
Over the course of its history, the village grew to include a slaughterhouse, a tannery, a school house, a wooden boardwalk, several churches and small hotels and a cemetery. Many of these structures no longer exist, although some houses have survived from Churchville's early period, and are designated heritage houses.
