Town of Caledon

Caledon covers more land than Brampton or Mississauga, but has the fewest residents. The word Caledon comes from a very old word for Scotland. Government officials came up with the name when the land was surveyed in 1818.

If you are looking for local history, a book is a great place to start. You will find books on local history at the Archives at PAMA. The same books are available at the Caledon Library.
