[2] On a 1913 map of registered subdivisions, the land was divided into several parcels, with names such as Nutana Hill, University Homes, Nutana Park and University Park. [3] The area was not actively developed until after World War II, with home construction at its peak from 1946 until 1970. [1] Holliston School was built in 1956. [4] The Edmund Heights low-income property was developed in the 1950s as one of several limited dividend housing projects constructed in Saskatoon. [5]
