Brampton tourist information
Brampton
The City of Brampton was founded as a village in 1853 in a movement lead by John Elliott and William Lawson, originally of Brampton in Cumbria, England. From our modest beginning as a colonial village in the wilderness of Upper Canada, we have grown to Canada’s 14th largest city with a current population of 352,000 people.
At the core of our city, historic downtown Brampton is home to a large number of heritage structures, some being the most historically significant in the entire Region of Peel. In addition, the city also retains a number of historic hamlets and the village of Churchville (a designated historical district), which recall the pioneer roots of this now modern and sophisticated city.
Join the excitement as Brampton opens its doors on September 20 & 21! Explore many of Brampton’s heritage buildings and those of architectural significance to our community at this free event.
Doors Open Brampton is part of the Doors Open Ontario province-wide celebration of community heritage. The purpose of the event is to build awareness of built, cultural and natural heritage among community residents and visitors by providing free access to buildings and properties of architectural and historic value. Guided tours and site information is provided to the visitors. All buildings are staffed with volunteers knowledgeable about the buildings, their history, and the activities that take place inside. Watch for details in Brampton’s libraries, recreation centres, and municipal and heritage buildings.
