ERINDALE (MISSISSAUGA) Erindale is an historical village located within the central part of Mississauga. It runs along Dundas Street West, the centre of the old village is just to the east of the Credit River valley. During the 17th and 18th centuries, French trappers named the river on which Erindale sits as "Riviθre du Credit". Aboriginal peoples called it the "trusting river" because the guns, knives and kettles they obtained in exchange for their furs and woven baskets were often bought on credit. As settlement progressed, the Mississauga Indians sold their land. In the treaty of 1805 signed by Chief Quenippenon the tribe ceded 70,784 acres. A second sale of 648,000 acres followed in 1818. The "Indian Trail" became a military road and was named Dundas Street after the British Secretary-at-War, Henry Dundas. The Credit Village developed along Dundas Street, settled mainly by people from the bustling Town of York (now Toronto). By 1809 there were 185 settlers in the area. Sawmills and grist mills were built, powered by water diverted from the river. Most of these settlers were United Empire Loyalists from the former Thirteen Colonies to the south or from settlements in Atlantic Canada, especially New Brunswick.
