Caledon East is a village located in the Town of Caledon, nestled among the picturesque Caledon hills, in the Regional Municipality of Peel. It is situated about 20 kilometres north of the Greater Toronto Area on Airport Road approximately 4 kilometres north of King Sideroad. It has a population of 2500. Caledon East and district takes in part of the former Albion, Caledon and Chingacousy townships. It has much to offer in the way of beautiful scenery and is a pleasant place to live, still embodying a great deal of the pioneer spirit and the feeling of Ontario country-living, a short distance from the sprawling urban metropolis of Toronto.

 

The first settlers arrived in the village in the early 1820s. In its heyday, Caledon East boasted three hotels, several general stores, livery stables, harness makers, churches, an Orange Lodge, a creamery, and other industries typical of an Ontario village. In the early days various names were originally given to the village: Tarbox Corners, Munsie's Corners, Paisley and finally, in 1851, Caledon East.

 

A thriving railway was built through the village in 1877, on which abandoned lands the Caledon Trailway now meanders.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

As with many towns in Canada, both the community as a whole celebrated the sacrifices made by the townsfolk who went to war by building memorials, but also the local churches and community groups developed honour roles and had different plaques and building dedicated to those who made the ultimate sacrifice, and Caledon East is no exception.
