History

Advertisement for Strathboine Development

The area was originally named Strathboine, and was slated for development in 1912. However the initial development failed to attract residents due to its remoteness and the collapse of development. [1]

The failed settlement was purchased by the Veterans Land Act in 1945. Roblin Park was set up as a housing development for Veterans in the mid-1940s. [1]

In 1946, Joseph and Violet Reynolds became the first to move into Roblin Park, at 105 (now 605) Pepperloaf Crescent. [1]
