1. Former Cooksville Brickyard
Brickyard Park, 3061 Clayhill Road
The Ontario National Brick Company recognized the potential of this site in 1912. By 1924 there were 35 families living at the brickyard, and many more single male workers living in a large boarding house. The Cooksville Brickyard employed and housed many new immigrants. While a large portion of the work force was of Italian origins, there were also those of Croatian, Irish, Polish and Ukrainian ancestry. Descendants of many brickyard employees continue to call Mississauga home today. Over the years shale and clay were extracted from the land by a number of different company names, including the Cooksville Shale Brick Company, Cooksville Brick and Tile Company, The Cooksville Company Limited, Ontario National Brick Works, Cooksville La Prairie Brick Company, DOMTAR, and Canada Brick. Operations ceased in the early 1990s. The “Brickyard Eagle” was sculpted by Cooksville La Prairie Brick Company employee and artist Angelo Belluz in the 1950s, and was originally located at the company’s office building. The sculpture was restored and unveiled as part of Brickyard Park in 2010.
