Details |
Applewood is a neighbourhood in Mississauga bordered by Burnhamthorpe Road, Cawthra Road, the Queen Elizabeth Way, and the Etobicoke Creek. It is named for the apple orchards which predominated in the area prior to its development. The earliest settlements in present-day Applewood occurred in the villages of Dixie and Burnhamthorpe which were established during the mid-1800s. The Applewood District area remained predominantly rural to the mid-1950s when G.S. Shipp & Sons Ltd. began to develop the Applewood Heights subdivision on the former T.L. Kennedy farm at the corner of Dundas Street and Tomken Road in 1955. Today Applewood is an established residential community, providing a variety of housing types including single and semidetached dwellings, townhouses, apartments and mobile homes. The Applewood district consists of the Applewood Acres community south of Queensway and Applewood Heights and Applewood Hills north of Dundas Street. |
