Township of Knoxville - Windback Wednesday

This poster shows the sale of allotments in the late 19th Century subdivision called Knoxville. Knoxville was a suburb within the City of Burnside that is now part of Glenunga and Glenside.

Part of the land was owned by Nathaniel A. Knox from circa 1840 to 1882 and rented out as farmland. In the 1880s, Knox subdivided the land and named it 'Knoxville', inspired by the American city in Tennessee, which was named after his relative Henry Knox. In the 1910s, the area was renamed Glenside and Glenunga.
