Home in Burnside

Burnside was established and named by Peter Anderson and his family who emigrated from Scotland in 1839. Anderson started a large farm on leased land near Second Creek. The farm had a large number of animals including pigs, poultry and cattle as well as barley and wheat crops. In 1848, the lease was assigned to William Randall [2] who arranged for the town to be laid out around Second Creek. [3]

It was named Burnside, an amalgamation of the Scottish word for creek, "burn" and "side" because of the original property's location on the side of Second Creek.

Burnside Post Office opened on 21 July 1863, [4] and by the 1870s the area had developed into a small village.
