History

In 1952, the Gill family ran a poultry farm and piggery and in 1967 developed the land into the first sewered estate in the region. They named some of the streets after the towns[ where? ] and streets in England from where they originated in 1951. Some of the streets were Ridgeway Street, Green Way, Edgeware Drive Gills Close and Hindmarsh Court.

[4] A number of churches were established in the following decades as the population of the suburb expanded with estate developments.

The suburb was named and bounded on 1 August 1979, [2] when it was split off from the larger Rochedale. [4] The name Rochedale refers to Irish immigrant Thomas Roche who farmed vines and fruit in the 1870s. The name Rochedale has been used since the 1880s. [5]
