Georgetown GO Station
The recent addition of Georgetown GO Station has transformed Georgetown into a premium in-demand community with easy access to Toronto. The result has been major growth and investment into the area, as the full potential of the area is just beginning to be discovered by the general populace.
This community is truly a hidden gem, and one of the last few remaining neighbourhoods that offer the ideal combination of proximity to Toronto, while maintaining its characteristic small town charm.

Georgetown
Georgetown has its roots as a farming town. It wasn’t until around 1837, that the area adopted the name Georgetown.
The local economy was given a boost in 1852 when a rail route was developed through Georgetown. This made it possible to industrialize the area, and allowed farmers easier access to the city.
Even earlier than this the area had its roots as an Indigenous settlement. European diseases wiped out a once abundant group of Hurons by the 1650s, allowing for the Mississauga natives to settle the area. The British government then purchased blocks of land from the Mississauga Nation and this land later became the area known as Georgetown.
