About Snelgrove, Brampton
Looking for homes for sale in Snelgrove, Brampton? Snelgrove is Brampton's northernmost and smallest neighbourhood — perched at the very top of the city at the border of the Town of Caledon, with Hurontario Street (Highway 10) as its main north-south spine. With Highway 410 extended to Snelgrove as its northern terminus, this community occupies one of the most unique positions in all of Brampton — a genuine historic hamlet with 19th-century roots, now surrounded by spacious executive homes, preserved natural areas along the Etobicoke Creek, and direct access to some of the most pristine natural landscapes in the north Brampton and Caledon corridor.
Snelgrove's story begins with John Snell — a native of Devonshire, England who received a crown land grant of 100 acres along Hurontario Street in 1838 and operated a prize-winning Berkshire pig farm. The community was originally called Edmonton by its settlers (named after their hometown in England) but was renamed Snelgrove in 1895 by the post office to avoid confusion with Edmonton, Alberta. One of the oldest buildings in the community — the former Snelgrove Baptist Church (1904), now a Coptic Orthodox church — still stands as a red-brick Victorian landmark on Hurontario Street with its round window facing the road. In 1974, Snelgrove was incorporated into the City of Brampton when Chinguacousy Township was divided between Brampton and Caledon.
