      History:

      The Beaty neighbourhood was created in 1998 by the Town of Milton as part of an ambitious urban expansion plan referred to as the Bristol Survey. The actual building of the neighbourhood commenced in 2001. The Beaty name was chosen for this neighbourhood making reference to the Beaty family who farmed this land for many generations when it was still part of Trafalgar Township. John Beaty the original landowner emigrated here from County of Cavan, Ireland. His son William inherited this land from his father. William was said to be a progressive and innovative farmer especially when it came to ploughing methods. He was so well regarded that he held a number of posts in the Trafalgar Agricultural Society and the Township Council. The Illustrated Historical Atlas of Halton County published in 1877, contains an impressive sketch of the William Beaty farm. This sketch shows a five-ranked Georgian style home with patterned brickwork, a double chimney and an appendage on the side and at the rear of the house. The grounds feature a circular bridle path and formal gardens that are neatly arranged with rows of crops and a very large barn and a stable.
