February, 1999 1996 Census of Canada, Statistics Canada History From the late 17th century to the early 19th century, the Credit River Valley was the exclusive domain of the s, a band of the Ojibway. They were nomadic hunters and fishers who travelled the entire length of the Credit River from Lake Ontario to Georgian Bay. In 1805, they relinquished most of their holdings to the British Government, with the exception of a strip of land one mile on each side of the Credit River - the Credit Indian Reserve, which now comprises part of, as we know it today. As settlement occurred, the s sold most of the Credit Indian Reserve to the Crown in 1820. Following deforestation, the lands in were used for agriculture up to the 1930 s. Growth pressures of Port Credit, together with construction of the Queen Elizabeth Way, including Canada s first clover leaf interchange at Hurontario Street, provided the impetus for development. Consequently, underwent suburban residential development on several parcels of land throughout the 1940 s and 50 s, and by 1950 newer homes along with older farmhouses lined Hurontario Street almost continuously from Port Credit to Cooksville. Since that time, infill development has continued to take place, abetted by the widening of Hurontario Street, and the introduction of GO train service in 1967.
