Port Credit

Beautiful Port Credit is found at the mouth of the Credit River on the north shore of Lake Ontario, within the southcentral area of the city of Mississauga. Port Credit's boundaries are the Canadian National Railway to the north, Seneca Avenue and the western edge of the Adamson Estate (Royal Conservatory School, Misissauga site) to the east and Godfrey's Lane and the townhouse complex located on the west side of Shawnmarr Road to the west.

Today, this picturesque neighbourhood is one of Canada's most desirable neighbourhoods, and a local centre for shopping, entertainment, and family strolls by the lake. Port Credit features a broad attractive range of desirable options for every type of homeowner, from the most modest starter condos to luxurious waterfront estates and everywhere in between.

The name "Port Credit" came from its roots as a trading post where goods were traded or bought on credit. The earliest reference is on a map drawn in 1757 by La Broquerie at Fort Frontenac, a fort built by the French at the mouth of the Cataraqui River, the site of the city of Kingston.

The heart of Port Credit is its harbour at the mouth of the Credit River. Once a working fishing port and a regional trading centre for grain and other agricultural products, the Port Credit Harbour has seen many roles in the community. A lighthouse was built in 1882 to serve the sailors on Lake Ontario. It served until 1918 and remained standing until destroyed by fire in 1936.
