The heart of downtown Brampton is the intersection of Queen and Main Sts., sometimes referred to as "The Four Corners," about 40 km from the CN Tower. Brampton's origins date back to 1819 when a team, lead by Richard Bristol, officially surveyed the lands as part of what was then Chinguacousy Township. The next year, the first European settlers arrived from the town and namesake Brampton in northern England. But it wasn't until 1834 that the land was first called Brampton. Its population, now around 600,000, reached 1,000 by 1853, and eventually became incorporated as a city in 1974. The centrepiece of Brampton's downtown is Garden Square, the large outdoor space for free outdoor entertainment. The Dominion Building at the north-east corner of the square was designed in the 1880s for a post office by Thomas Fuller, a man who oversaw the construction of Ottawa's Centre Block on Parliament Hill in the 1860s. The signature domed clock tower was added in 1914. Off the back of Garden Square is The Rose, the city's theatre space for live shows, featuring everything from magicians to jazz ensembles.
