Following the conclusion of Timothy Street and Richard Bristol's survey in the spring of 1819, the first inhabitants in the region began to arrive. In the pioneer village, Street established a number of enterprises after acquiring 1,000 acres. The village was surrounded by prosperous farms, and in the 1830s, it achieved commercial independence. Streetsville's five significant mill sites along a three-mile section of the Credit River's swift current served as the foundation for its prominence. The Barber family's Toronto Woollen Mills, a significant Canadian industry at the time, contributed significantly to Streetsville's economic stability. Streetsville, a 5,000-person village, was incorporated in 1858. It joined Ward 9 in the City of Mississauga in 1974.
