The village of Meadowvale was incorporated in 1836 and is Ontario's first heritage conservation district. Charles Horace Gooderham built a "country property", a Georgian manor in northern Mississauga, in 1870, which was sold in 1884 and is now the Rotherglen School's Meadowvale Campus. More people started to move to the village when Gooderham built his property. In 1968, Meadowvale Village, then part of Toronto Township, became a part of the Town of Mississauga. Now, the area is well populated, consisting of mostly single-family homes and people from many different cultures.Meadowvale Village Today
