The Downtown neighbourhood is the oldest part of Brampton, in the southwest, with the intersection of Main and Queen Streets—the historic Four Corners—as the core. Brampton was incorporated as a village in 1853. Features of this historic neighbourhood are City Hall, parks, the fairgrounds, the Rose Theatre, art gallery, museum, Alderlea Mansion and other historic homes, restaurants, offices, and other amenities. Housing in Downtown includes high-rise buildings as well as single-detached homes in a range of ages and styles, semi-detached homes, and townhomes. The City of Brampton is working on a number of projects to revitalize and beautify the Downtown.
