Caledon (2011 population 59,460) is a town in the Regional Municipality of Peel in the Greater Toronto Area of Ontario, Canada. In terms of land use, Caledon is somewhat urban, though it is primarily rural in nature. It consists of an amalgamation of a number of urban areas, villages, and hamlets; its major urban centre is Bolton, located on its eastern side adjacent to York Region. Caledon is one of three municipalities of Peel Region. The town is located just northwest of the city of Brampton. ''Maclean's'' magazine has named Caledon as the safest town in Canada to live in for two years running,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Where you can't get away with anything )〕 however, local media reported in 2010 that crime rates have increased since the Maclean's article.〔(Caledon news report )〕 ==History== By 1869, Belfountain was a Village with a population of 100 in the Township of Caledon County Peel.
