It enters Brampton, south ofSteeles Avenue , and Highway 407 (exit 53).In Peel County, this road also served as a dividing line between townships. Albion, and Gore Townships were east of Caledon, Chingacousy and Toronto Township respectively. Later, Toronto Township acquired the Gore lands south of
Steeles Avenue that became much of the urban area ofMalton, Ontario , also known as Toronto Gore. The remainder of Gore Township became part of Brampton in 1974, and Albion was added to Caledon at the same time.Recently, many new housing developments have been built off Airport Road, such as the Vales and Highlands of Castlemore.
