The settlement was initially founded in 1826 by a band of [[Mississaugas|Mississaugas of the Credit]] who had converted to [[Christianity]].<ref></ref> Notable figures in the early settlement include [[Peter Jones (missionary)|Peter Jones]], the son of Ontario surveyor [[Augustus Jones]] and his wife, [[Tuhbenahneequay]].
In 1847, the Mississaugas were evicted from the site by the [[Ontario]] [[Government of Ontario|government]] due to pressure from neighbouring white settlers; the tribe was forced to relocate to their current home, the [[Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation]], after being gifted land from the [[Six Nations of the Grand River]].
Since 1905, the original site of the village has been occupied by the [[Mississaugua Golf & Country Club]].<ref> </ref>
