About Mississauga
Mississauga is a major commercial centre with a dense corporate presence along the Highway 401, 403, and Queen Elizabeth Way corridors. Toronto Pearson International Airport, Canada's busiest airport, sits within the city. The downtown around Square One and the City Centre area has been developing as a higher-density urban core.
Geography & Major Routes
The city is bounded by Lake Ontario to the south, the Etobicoke Creek to the east (the Toronto boundary), the Credit River cutting through the centre, and Brampton/Halton boundaries on the north and west.
Mississauga Districts & Communities
Mississauga is composed of historical communities including Port Credit, Streetsville, Cooksville, Clarkson, Erin Mills, Meadowvale, Malton, and Lakeview. City Centre serves as the de facto downtown, while Port Credit and Streetsville retain village-scale main streets.
Region
Mississauga is part of Greater Toronto Area, with a population of approximately 720,000. For broader context, see the Southern Ontario regional map and the Ontario map with cities.

How Mississauga is laid out
Mississauga runs along the Lake Ontario shoreline west of Toronto and climbs inland to meet Brampton. Hurontario Street is the main north–south spine and the easiest line to orient by; the City Centre and Square One sit roughly at its midpoint. The city was assembled from a set of older villages — Port Credit, Streetsville, Cooksville, Clarkson, Malton — and those names still mark distinct areas on the map.
Highways and getting around
The QEW follows the lakeshore, Highway 401 crosses the north, and Highways 403, 407 and 410 divide the interior. Toronto Pearson International Airport, Canada's busiest, sits in the northeast corner of the city near Malton — a common surprise for visitors who assume it is in Toronto.
