Meadowvale, Mississauga

Meadowvale is a large suburban district located in the northwestern part of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, just west of Toronto. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Meadowvale Village in Toronto Township was established nearby and named for the meadows along the Credit River. In the 1970s the area to the west of the village (actually a hamlet) was selected to be the site of a "new town" for the newly (1974) incorporated City of Mississauga and took the Meadowvale name, while "Village" was added to the historic community. This newer section comprises the bulk of the district today. Meadowvale borders the neighbourhoods of Lisgar to the west, Streetsville and Erin Mills to the south, Churchill Meadows to the southwest, and the City of Brampton to the north.
