The historic mill-village of Barberton developed just north of the modern intersection of Mississauga Road and Eglinton Avenue, along the Credit River. Barbertown Road follows the main thoroughfare that led through the heart of the community to the mill complex. Also once referred to ads Creditvale, the still-functioning mill complex is the oldest continually operated industrial site in Mississauga, will the first mill on the property having been established circa 1826. Interpretive plaques along the Culham Trail highlight the significant history of Barberton, and a number of heritage landmarks, including the Barber House and two mill-workers’ cottages, recall the early years of the village.
