  • Don Messick, voice actor who provided the voice of the lead in Scooby-Doo, Where Are You! and its spin-offs, which debut in 1969.
  • Jimi Hendrix, who performed at the Woodstock Festival.
  • the AMC Rambler, made in Brampton, ceasing production that year.
  • "The Eagle", the Apollo 11 lunar lander.
