1 Heart of Peel

Since its incorporation as a city in 1974, the municipal government of the Regional Municipality of Peel has transformed Brampton into a de-facto "capital." Most of the Region's department offices (including the Regional Council Chamber), the Peel Regional Police force, the fire department, and the region's only major museum, the Peel Heritage Complex, are all housed there. As a result of this, the area has become known as the centre of the region, represented by Peel Centre Drive, on which many facilities are located.

2 Communities

Brampton is made up of a number of smaller communities.

Bramalea was built as a "satellite city," Canada's first when built in the 1960s. It was annexed into Brampton in 1974, but still remains essentially autonomous in spirit, with even new residents responding that they live in Bramalea.

Chinguacousy and Toronto Gore were two townships incorporated into Brampton mid-way through the twentieth century. From this merger, communities such as Bramalea, Heart Lake and Professor's Lake, Snelgrove, Tullamore, and Mayfield, were formed.

Rural villages, such as Claireville, Ebenezer, Victoria, Springbrook, Churchville, Coleraine, and Huttonville were merged into the larger city. While only Victoria, Huttonville, and Churchville still exist as identifiable communities, other names like Claireville are re-emerging as names of new developments.

The early 1980s brought new development, as the city released large tracts of land to residential developers. This land began in its largest boom in 1999, when development started to appear as far north as the city's border with Caledon. The Region has designated this border as being the line of demarcation for urban development until 2021. However, neighbouring communities not part of Peel have also been massively affected by the city's sudden spurt. The end of Brampton and start of Georgetown, for example, is essentially non-identifiable.

2.1 Bramalea, Canada's Satellite City

Bramalea is a Canadian new town in Ontario, approximately 40 kilometres northwest of the provincial capital, Toronto. Located in the former Chinguacousy Township , it was Canada's first satellite community developed by one of the country's largest real estate developers, Bramalea Limited, formerly known as Brampton Leasing. The community had an extensive Master Plan, which included provisions for a parkland trail system and a "downtown," which would include essential services and a shopping centre.

Each subdivision of the city used street names that began with the same letter. The "A" section is the oldest part of the community, with street names like Argyle, Avondale, and Aloma. Children on the boundaries of these divisions would regularly compete in street hockey games, pitting, for example, the "D" section versus the "E" section.

The downtown area's centrepiece was the Civic Centre, which included the city hall and library. Directly across Team Canada Drive from the Civic Centre, Bramalea Limited built a shopping centre named Bramalea City Centre. The two centrepieces were connected by a long underground tunnel. Other features included a police station, fire hall, bus terminal, and a collection of seniors' retirement homes.

There is an extensive parkland trail and sidewalk system that connects the entire town. One can get anywhere in the town without having to use a road.

There are a large number of recreational facilities available in the town, including tennis courts, playgrounds, hockey/lacrosse rinks, swimming pools, and indoor hockey rinks.

3 History of Brampton

3.1 The two cities merge

Bramalea merged with its neighbouring city, Brampton, in 1974.

Upon merging with Brampton, many parts of the town changed. The Civic Centre housed the Brampton City Hall, until the early 1990s. The library merged with the Brampton Library system, and soon the Central Services moved to what became the Chinguasousy Branch, making the collection the head branch and Resource Center.
