Burnside is a small suburb that is part of the City of Burnside in the eastern suburbs of Adelaide. It is primarily a residential suburb, and was one of the first suburbs of Adelaide. It was named Burnside, an amalgamation of the Scottish word for creek, "Burn" and "side" because of the original property's location on the side of Second Creek.
Burnside was established and named by Peter Anderson and his family who came from Scotland in 1839. Anderson started a large farm on leased land near Second Creek. The farm grew and had a large number of animals including pigs, poultry and cattle as well as barley and wheat crops. By the 1870s the area had developed into a small village.
There are a number of parks but most noticeably bordering several that are shared with other suburbs. The Burnside Swimming Centre is located in nearby Hazelwood Park. Langman Reserve is part of both Burnside and Waterfall Gully and the large Newland Park has several ovals.
Burnside is home to Burnside Primary School, a local government school. A number of churches in various denominations including Baptist, Lutheran and Anglican also call the suburb home.
Burnside is a fairly upper-middle class suburb. A significant number of its residents own houses that are on the hills which offer spectacular views of the city. Adelaide's richest mancitation needed lives in Burnside in one of these houses which is known as "The Sandcastle".
