Fletchers Creek Village
History:
Fletcher’s Meadow was originally part of Chinguacousy Township. This part of the township was originally settled in 1823 by Robert and Elizabeth Fletcher who purchased 100 acres of farmland with a creek running through the middle of the property. The Fletcher farm was prosperous and included barns, horses and a large orchard. William Fletcher inherited the family farm in 1870. He expanded the farm to include 100 acres purchased from a neighbour. This additional acreage was needed as William was a cattleman and needed the extra room for his herd to graze. In 1913 William’s son John became the third generation of the Fletcher family to own this homestead. In 1940 John defaulted on a loan and the Fletcher farm was sold under power of sale. This unfortunate circumstance marked an unceremonious end to 117 years of farming for one of the great Brampton pioneer families.
The present day neighbourhood was largely developed during the building boom of the late 1990s and early 2000s.
