Rockwood Village is a neighbourhood in the eastern part of the City of Mississauga, Ontario, Canada, in the Regional Municipality of Peel. Its approximate boundaries are Eglinton Avenue in the north, Burnhamthorpe Road in the south, the Etobicoke Creek (the city limits of Mississauga) on the east and Dixie Road on the west. The Municipal Ward is Ward 3, the provincial riding is Mississauga East—Cooksville and the federal riding is Mississauga East—Cooksville. The Burnhamthorpe branch of the Mississauga Library System is located at the southwestern edge of Rockwood Village at the corner of Burnhamthorpe Road and Dixie Road.

The historic hamlet of Burnhamthorpe was located at the corner of today's Burnhamthorpe Road and Dixie Road, at the southwestern edge of the neighbourhood. The area took in part of Lots 5 and 6, Concessions 1 and 2, NDS (North of Dundas Street). Founded about 1820, it was originally named Sandy Hill, but when a post office opened in 1862, a post office conflict with Sandhill in Chinguacousy Township occurred, so it was renamed Burnhamthorpe at the suggestion of John Abelson who hailed from Burnham Thorpe, England.

When surveyor Samuel Wilmot laid out the roadways in the 1805 Purchase survey, concessions ran east-west and lines ran north-south. Third Line East became Dixie Road, and Back Line Road and Lower Base Line (the latter named as such because it was the boundary between the old and new township surveys) became Burnhamthorpe Road and Eglinton Avenue respectively.

The 1877 Peel Atlas shows Samuel Moore Lot 6, Concession 2 (100 acres) on the Northwest Corner of modern-day Dixie Road and Burnhamthorpe Road. George Chadwick has Lot 5, Concession 2 on the Northeast corner, William Shaver has Lot 6, Concession 1 on the Southwest corner and William Clarkson has Lot 5, Concession 1 on the Southeast corner. 1877 Peel Atlas:
