Our Heritage

The City of Burnside is an historic and heritage rich city, dating back to the establishment of the District Council of Burnside in 1856.

With such history comes thousands of untold or forgotten stories. The City of Burnside is dedicated to sharing the stories of our community and its past.

Explore Burnside’s heritage through our YouTube series Our History and the recurring social media and News Hub series Windback Wednesday.

Additionally, if you’re interested in getting more involved, the Burnside Historical Society is an active group that welcomes new members.
