Canada's eighth largest and fastest growing city, Mississauga is located immediately west of Metropolitan Toronto. It is a thriving commercial and industrial centre, home to more than 560,000 residents and the hub of Southern Ontario's tourism industry.

With the "Second Purchase", on February 28, 1820, the Mississaugas ceded the remainder of their land. This area, referred to as Block D, excluded a 200-acre reserve on the northeast bank of the Credit River, about 1/4 mile north of Port Credit. The proceeds of any sale or surrender of lands in this Block were intended to go toward the provision of some buildings and some religious and educational instruction. Until this time, the Mississaugas had been a hunting and gathering people. By the 1820s, they adopted a more settled, agricultural lifestyle.
