The research done by the Mississauga Heritage Foundation and Ontario Ministry of Culture found that St. Peter’s Church was constructed by a previously unknown group of settlers from a lost settlement called ‘Nunan’s Corners’. The Nunan’s Corners settlers were poor Irish Catholics, who settled in Churchill Meadows in 1819 and built St. Peter’s in 1823. The church was an important landmark for the settlers who farmed the water-logged land. They faced a tough life, as flooding ruined crops, people died in large numbers from disease and the lack of railways or good roads meant that they were cut off from the rest of the world. The settlement itself disappeared in the 1920’s and ‘30’s and the church is the last building to survive. During the 1970’s the church building was taken off its foundations and moved about 30 meters west onto the west of Ninth Line.
