Sauga 50-for-50: How Mississauga Got its Name

Welcome to another installment of Sauga 50-for-50. As we begin to explore connections to the City of Mississauga’s 50th anniversary, we go back in time to 1968 when the Township of Toronto became the Town of Mississauga. Why this name? And what's in our name? The process of choosing a name was not a straightforward one. In the end, the town fought to be Mississaugans! Historian Matthew Wilkinson explores the sorted tale alongside local historian and interpreter Richard Collins, this time on Sauga 50-for-50.
