History

The land on which Erindale now sits was annexed over three decades: 1950 to 1959, 1970 to 1979, and 1980 to 1984.[2] The majority of residential construction was done between 1986 and 2001, with a small amount of construction before this. The housing stock is composed mostly of low density, single detached houses.[1] Roadways feature the names of local artists of some fame.[2] Father Robinson School was built starting in 1989, and opened in the fall of 1992.[3]
