Coleraine is an unincorporated rural community in Brampton, Peel Region, Ontario, Canada. [1] [2]
Coleraine was founded in the 1830s. [3] The settlement's name may be derived from the names of two families who settled in the area, the Cole family and the Raines family. [4] The Cole family built a house in the area, and Thomas Cole Jr. served as township councillor from 1863 to 1874. [5]
The settlement had a post office from 1852 to 1916. [6]
The now-extinct Coleraine Wesleyan Methodist Church and its cemetery, Coleraine Burying Grounds, were located west of the settlement. A cairn was erected at the former cemetery by the Town of Vaughan in 1981. [7] [8]

The city's downtown is home to several transit hubs, such as Square One Bus Terminal, and the City Centre Transit Terminal. With a population of 717,961 as of 2021, Mississauga is the seventh-most populous municipality in Canada, third-most in Ontario, and second-most in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) after Toronto itself.
