interesting tho.... it might have to do with historical reference RED COATS = British (United Empire Loyalists) and the GRAY COATS or 'GRAYS' (AMERICANS) who were stopped by the British Red Coats at Battlefield Park in that area. Perhaps the GRAYS got as far as Gray Road.
Either way Stoney Creek sucks really bad... the downtown is about the size of town center of a town of 3,000. The biggest joke is their "City Hall" that was built in the middle of nowhere and even after amalg the 'New' City found it difficult to find use for a 'city hall' built in the middle of farm fields. Actually SC is a geography of nowhere. I remember when the moment they hit 50,000 population they petitioned the Province to be designated a "city" the minimum amount of people required for a city designation. Something Oakville still refuses to be called even though they have a population of 150,000 Oakville is still considered a "town". Must be a serious inferiority complex with SC. Try being a real city before your get the name designation.

Markham has 261k and is still a town too.
the City of Port Colborne has about 18k I think.
