Huttonville
History:
Huttonville originated around a complex of mills that were powered by the Credit River. The primary character in the history of this neighbourhood is its namesake James Hutton. Hutton purchased the areas existing mills in 1855 and promptly renamed them Hutton’s Mills. When the community post office opened in 1865, it was given the name Huttonsville. In 1875 the letter S was dropped and the name changed to the present day Huttonville.
In 1877 the Illustrated Historical Atlas of the County of Peel described Huttonville as follows: “An enterprising village, situated on the River Credit, on the fourth line, Chinguacousy, with a population of about 150. The principal business is the celebrated mills of J. P. Hutton, Esq”. Huttonville remained a prosperous community until it fell into a period of decline in the mid 1900s. It is now enjoying a renaissance of sorts as new home developments are attracting many new families to this historic part of Brampton.
