Port Credit is a vibrant waterfront community at the mouth of the Credit River west of Toronto. 
 

Originally a native trading post and home to a group of Ojibway called,  the Mississaugas, Port Credit was surveyed and a working harbour was  established beginning in the early 1830’s. Late in the 1880’s Port  Credit became home to the St. Lawrence Starch Company and the Port  Credit brickyard. Village status soon followed.

Today Port Credit is home to many stores and casual dining establishments.  That along with a number of festivals (Waterfront Festival, Southside Shuffle Jazz and Blues, Buskerfest, Canada Day Festival and more) and a Farmers Market make Port Credit a destination for visitors. 

The Mississauga Waterfront Trail passes through Port Credit and there are a number of waterfront parks  from Hiawatha Park on the East end to St Lawrence, J.J. Plaus,  Saddington, Port Credit Memorial to Ben Macree Park on the West end.  On  a sunny summer day, the Trail is usually packed with people walking,  running and biking.

Port Credit Secondary School ranks in the top 15% of schools in Ontario as does Mineola Public School. Other elementary schools in the area include:  Queen Elizabeth Senior Public School (School of the Arts), Kenollie Public School, Riverside Public School and Forest Avenue Public School.

Port Credit is  undergoing rejuvenation in its housing. The waterfront industrial sites  are giving way to luxury condominiums. Century and pre-war style homes  mixed in with custom build infill houses are typical in Port Credit  Village (east of the Credit River), Olde Port Credit Village (west of  the Credit River) while post-war homes and new builds are common in the  Cranberry Cove area (just east of the Rhododendron Gardens). West  Mineola, east of the Credit River is an exclusive, treed neighbourhood  with a mix of houses (pre-war, cottages, post-war and, now, large custom  houses.
