1787

British colonial officials sign a Toronto Purchase Treaty with leaders of the Mississaugas of the Credit to obtain land for settlement. A new one is signed in 1805, granting the white settlers access to more than 250,000 acres of land in return for ten shillings. In 1998 the Mississauga of the New Credit launched a claim against the federal government that ultimately resulted in a settlement of $145 million.
