Meadowvale is a large suburban district located in the northwestern part of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, just west of Toronto. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, Meadowvale Village in Toronto Township was established nearby and named for the meadows along the Credit River.[1] By the 1970s the village would diminish with the current area to the west selected to be the site of a "new town" for the newly (1974) incorporated City of Mississauga and took the Meadowvale name, while "Village" was added to the historic community.[1] This newer section comprises the bulk of the district today, and includes Lisgar, another former hamlet of which no trace remains today. Another extension of the district at Derry Road is referred to as Meadowvale West.
