Streetsville (pop. 12,040) is a community located in the northwestern corner of Mississauga, Ontario, on the Credit River. Streetsville occupies both the west and east banks of the river, but the majority of it is located on the west bank of the river.
It is unique in that it has retained a variety of historical buildings and streetscapes, harkening to an era that has long since past. While the village is surrounded by modern suburban development, it still has a unique "small town" charm.
While a number of settlers had moved into the area now known as Streetsville, the village's growth was stimulated by Timothy Street, for whom the village is named. Street settled there with his family in 1825.
In 1858, Streetsville was incorporated as a village, with John Street as its first reeve. In January 1962, Streetsville was incorporated as a town when at that point, the town's population had exceeded 5,000. The first Mayor was Frank Dowling. The Town of Mississauga was incorporated in 1968, joining together the settlements of Cooksville, Dixie, Erindale and Malton. While Port Credit and Streetsville were excluded from this, they were annexed, along with Clarkson, Erin Mills and Meadowvale Village, when Mississauga became a city in 1974. Hazel McCallion, who had been the mayor of Streetsville from 1970 to 1973, became the mayor of Mississauga in 1978, only the third in the city's history, and continues to serve to this day.
Since 1973, Streetsville has annually celebrated its Bread and Honey Festival, an acknowledgement to the town's fine history and involvement with milling. The festival lasts the entire weekend (usually the first weekend of June) and takes place within Streetsville Memorial Park, near Vic Johnston Arena.
Toronto band Billy Talent were started in this town.
