Peel County Courthouse
Historic Sites
This group of historic buildings along Wellington Street reflects Brampton’s establishment as the seat of the County of Peel in 1867. It is one of the most significant public building complexes in Ontario. The jail and the courthouse were both designed by Toronto architect William Kauffman, and are among the few remaining examples of his work. The stone for these two buildings was quarried locally from the Etobicoke River Valley at the south end of the City. The county courthouse is a highly eclectic building with a distinctive, onion-shaped cupola. It is situated on a grassy knoll overlooking what was once the bank of the Etobicoke River.
