context_page_description: Malton is a neighbourhood in the northeastern part of the city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, located to the northwest of Toronto.
  Malton is bounded by Highway 427 and Finch Avenue to the east, the Brampton city limits to the north, Airport Road to the west, and the CN rail line and Toronto Pearson International Airport to the south. Malton is unique in that it does not adjoin any other Mississauga neighbourhood. Mimico Creek flows through Malton.
  Together, the Malton and Britannia Woods areas of Mississauga form Ward 5. Ward 5 is one of the largest in the City of Mississauga and the only ward with both businesses and residents. The oldest portion of Malton is located on the northwest corner of Airport and Derry Roads. All of the roads in this area are named after cities in the United Kingdom.

  In April 1937, Land agents representing the Toronto Harbour Commission approached the farmers of Malton who owned Lots 6-10 on Concession 5 and 6 to acquire land for Malton Airport. The farmers were:

  W.A. Cripps - 200 acres (Conc. 5W, Lot 10)
  Wilbur Martin - 100 acres (Conc. 5E, Lot 9)
  David J. Lammy - 150 acres (Conc. 5W, Lot 9)
  Mack Brett - 150 acres (Conc.5W, Lot 8,9)
