Caledon Village is an unincorporated community located within the largely rural Town of Caledon in Ontario, Canada. It has a population of 1 909 people. [1]
Caledon Village is a largely rural community in the centre of Caledon, [2] situated at the intersection of Highway 10 (Hurontario Street) and Charleston Sideroad (Peel Road 24; and formerly Highway 24 west of Highway 10). There are quarries for the extraction of salt, gravel, and sand around the village. These large quarries serve as a large portion of the Caledon economy, stretching to the Forks of the Credit and the hamlet of Cataract. [3]
The community was first established in the 1820s by Irish and Scottish emigrants of the Stubbs, Rayburn and Bell families. The village was formerly known as Raeburn's Corners, Charlestown, Charleston, and (simply) Caledon (despite the former township the community was previously located in having always been named "Caledon"). The area flourished with industries like sawmills and gristmills, powered by the nearby Credit River. [4] The main form of economic activity ties to agriculture and poultry. For most of its history, Caledon Village was a hamlet (rather than an actual village), with the majority of the growth in the community having occurred in modern times, and most of the population lives in suburban-style developments. [5] There are currently ongoing small residential and industrial development plans around the village. [6]
Caledon is a town in the Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. The name comes from a shortened form of Caledonia, the Roman name for what is now Scotland.

Some spillover urbanization also occurs in the south bordering the City of Brampton.

King's Highway 50, commonly referred to as Highway 50, was a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway, which was decommissioned in 1998, is still referred to as Highway 50, though it is now made up of several county and regional roads: Peel Regional Road 50, York Regional Road 24 and Simcoe County Road 50. The route began in the north end corner of the former Etobicoke at Highway 27 as Albion Road, and travelled northwest to Highway 89 west of the town of Alliston. En route, it passed through the villages of Bolton, Palgrave and Loretto. The road south of Bolton has become more suburban as development has encroached from the east and west; but despite this increased urbanization, the removal of highway status, and the fact that it runs through the former Albion Township, the Albion Road name has not been extended to follow it outside Toronto.
Hurontario Street is a roadway running in Ontario, Canada between Lake Ontario at Mississauga and Lake Huron's Georgian Bay at Collingwood. Within Peel Region, it is a major urban thoroughfare within the cities of Mississauga and Brampton, which serves as the divide from which cross-streets are split into East and West, except at its foot in the historic Mississauga neighbourhood of Port Credit. Farther north, with the exception of the section through Simcoe County, where it forms the 8th Concession, it is the meridian for the rural municipalities it passes through. In Dufferin County, for instance, parallel roads are labelled as EHS or WHS for East of Hurontario Street.
King's Highway 10, commonly referred to as Highway 10, is a provincially maintained highway in the Canadian province of Ontario. The highway connects the northern end of Highway 410 just north of Brampton with Owen Sound on the southern shores of Georgian Bay, passing through the towns of Orangeville and Shelburne as well as several smaller villages along the way. It historically followed the Toronto–Sydenham Road, the southern part of which later became the southern section of Hurontario Street. The section between Orangeville and Primrose was formerly part of Prince of Wales Road, which continues northwards after the highway turns west. Between Chatsworth and Owen Sound, Highway 10 is concurrent with Highway 6.
