Indigenous peoples have lived in the Brampton region for thousands of years, and the city is located on Huron-Wendat, Haudenosaunee, and Anishinaabeg traditional land. Brampton was named after the town of Brampton in Cumberland, England, and was established as a village in 1853, a town in 1873, and a city in 1974. Brampton's population has grown dramatically, from 10,000 in the 1950s to over 600,000 now, thanks to immigration, particularly from the Indian subcontinent.

The city was originally dubbed "The Flower Town of Canada," a reference to its thriving greenhouse sector. Advanced manufacturing, retail administration, logistics, information and communication technology, food and beverage, life sciences, and business services are now among Brampton's key economic sectors.
