Chinguacousy Township (was the name of the area of what is now known as Brampton in the Peel Region) was void of any real businesses with the exception of the Martin Salisbury tavern and all town business was conducted there. Buffy’s Corners (Main Street and Queen Street) held another tavern from which the intersection was referred to, William Buffy’s tavern, which again, was the only real significant business in the area. It wasn’t until 1834 that a locally-living man named John Elliott set up the area into sellable lots and promptly called the area Brampton (the new name quickly caught on by new residents and it stuck). The onset of 1853 brought the local residents to holding its first town fair (and its official standing of a village), which was overflowing with farmer’s market produce, livestock, homemade and handmade items for sale and this drew a large, new population to live in the area. This fair continues on to this day…the Brampton Fall Fair. In 1873, Brampton was officially labelled a town and it wasn’t until 1974 that Brampton officially was named a city in the Peel Region. An overhaul of the Peel Region in 1974 brought Toronto Gore, Townships of Chinguacousy, Huttonville, Bramalea, Springbrook, Coleraine, Victoria, Ebenezer, Claireville and Churchville all together to be encompassed by the new City of Brampton.A hallmark of Brampton happened in 1963 when it established itself as The Flower Town of Canada through The Flower Festival of Brampton. This all came about through the efforts of one man (Edward Dale) back in 1863, when he developed and grew flowers in his nursery. The nursery grew substantially and not only became one of the largest employers in the area, Dale’s Nursery began to export the highly advanced flower grading system and numerous types of species of flowers growing in over 140 greenhouses.
