| Historical
Notes The Mississaugas were at one time a sub tribe of the Chippewas but were generally treated as a distinct group. In the mid-17th century the Mississaugas possessed a section of land, north of Lake Erie and west of the Niagara River, a district then known as "Saguinan." The Mississaugas surrendered a portion of this land to create a reserve for the Six Nations along the Grand River in 1784. The reserve was officially established as a Loyalist settlement in 1846, when the Band was given a 6000 acre tract of land adjoining the Six Nations' land. In 1878, the MIssissaugas settled on a block of 4800 acres in the southwest corner of Tuscarora which they received from the Six Nations. This reserve became known as the "New Credit." |

Industries The service sector accounts for approximately half of the labour force, with three fifths of this group employed in the government service sector. Manufacturing, construction, transportation and utilities, and trade industries each account for approximately one tenth of the labour force, with the remainder involved in agricultural and mining industries. Local industries include an automotive parts manufacturing enterprise. |
