History
Eastgate Square opened in 1973 with Woolco, Eaton's, and Robinson's as its anchors.
One of the mall's busiest anchor stores, Walmart (formerly Woolco), had announced it was relocating to a site roughly 2 kilometres away{{cite web|title=Google Maps|url=https://www.google.ca/maps/dir/75+Centennial+Pkwy+N,+Hamilton,+ON+L8E+2P2/510+Centennial+Pkwy+N,+Hamilton,+ON+L8E+0G2/|access-date=2017-04-23}} to 510 Centennial Parkway North at corner of the QEW/South Service Road junction. The new Walmart Supercentre location opened on January 27, 2012.{{cite web|title=Walmart Supercentre grand opening|url=https://www.hamiltonnews.com/news/walmart-supercentre-grand-opening/|publisher=Hamilton Community News|date=2012-01-27|access-date=2013-08-03|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140606234743/http://www.hamiltonnews.com/news/walmart-supercentre-grand-opening/|archive-date=2014-06-06|url-status=dead}}

Eastgate Transit Terminal{{anchor|Transit Terminal}}
The Hamilton Street Railway bus terminal is located near the southeast corner of the mall, on the north side of Queenston Road just west of Centennial Parkway. There is a covered walkway connecting the terminal with the mall.{{cite web |url=http://www.hamiltontransit.ca/terminals/eastgate-transit-terminal/ |title=Eastgate Transit Terminal |publisher=Hamilton Transit Blog |access-date=May 1, 2018}} The terminal is notable in that it connects most of the community of Stoney Creek via route 55 with the rest of the HSR transit system. Originally located north of its current location and with its northernmost lane directly adjacent to the mall, it was redesigned and rebuilt in a new location slightly to the south, closer to Queenston Road, in the late 2000s.
