Clarkson Village is a community located in the city of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, within the Greater Toronto Area. The community is located in the south west corner of Mississauga, along the banks of Lake Ontario. The community is bordered by Lake Ontario to the south, Oakville to the west, Erindale and Erin Mills to the north, and Lorne Park to the East.

Clarkson was named after Warren Clarkson, a United Empire Loyalist who, along with others arrived in Canada in 1808 from Albany, New York to seek their fortune. They settled in a portion of the Old Survey which became known as "Merigold's Point".

Warren liked the area very much and decided to stay. He worked hard so that someday he would be able to own property. When he was twenty-six he had saved enough money to buy land and build a home. Warren married and began to raise a family. As the years went by Warren bought more land. He built the community's first store along the stagecoach trail. Fifteen years later the town council named this trail Clarkson Road.

A post office was opened in the family store and William Clarkson, Warren's son became the postmaster. For the next forty five years a member of the Clarkson family would run the post office. Clarkson community never grew very large. It had a few houses and shops along Clarkson Road, a railway station, a school, and a church. Less than one hundred people lived in this quiet community.

The Clarkson family operated the general store and post office for many years and their old homestead, built 1819, still stands on Clarkson Road. Today, people can experience a glimpse of different periods in Clarkson 's history by visiting the Bradley House, 1830, The Anchorage, 1839, or Benares, 1857, all historic properties which are open to the public.

In 1856, Captain Edward Sutherland (1794-1885) moved to Clarkson with his seven children. A widower, he purchased "Bush's Inn," a former inn and coach house that was the halfway point between Hamilton, Ontario and Toronto (this building, a private residence, still stands on Clarkson Road South).

Here, he is said to have introduced both strawberry and raspberry cultivation to the area. Clarkson eventually became the "Strawberry Capital of Ontario," and commercial fruit farming expanded in the area through the rest of the 19th and into the early 20th century. In 1915, a sign was erected at the Clarkson railway station declaring "Through this station passes more strawberries than any other station in Ontario." The Sutherlands later became connected by marriage to the Harrises of Benares.

The community and the surrounding area consists mostly of a mix of upper and middle class homes
