Snelgrove is a historic community in Brampton, Ontario, Canada, straddling the border between Brampton and Caledon centred on the intersection of Hurontario Street and Mayfield Road. When Hurricane Hazel struck Ontario in 1954, Snelgrove received the most rainfall of any Canadian location, with 214 mm (8.4 in) of rain.[1]
Highway 410 was recently extended to a new terminus in Snelgrove, at Hurontario Street, just north of Mayfield Road.
Among others, businesses in Snelgrove include a Shoppers Drug Mart, Sobeys, Tim Hortons and the Snelgrove Veterinary Clinic.
The Canadian Pacific Railway (previously Credit Valley Railway) line from Streetsville to Owen Sound passed through Snelgrove, and there was a station for passenger trains. Today all that is left of the site is a few railway sidings that shortline operator Orangeville Brampton Railway occasionally uses.
