## History

[edit]

According to a 1913 map of registered subdivisions, Greystone Heights was originally split in two sections called Queens Park and Queens Park Addition, the latter of which overlapped into the present-day College Park neighbourhood.[2] The land for the neighbourhood was annexed by the city between 1955 and 1959.[3] The majority of home construction took place between 1961 and 1970, and was generally completed by 1980. The street names are mainly those of Canadian universities and professors.[1]

## Commercial

[edit]

Commercial development is limited to the southern edge of the neighbourhood, where businesses lie within the 8th Street business district. Among these are several big-box stores, mostly on the north side of the street, including a location of Real Canadian Superstore; a Saskatoon Co-op grocery store operated in the area from the 1960s until 2014, when it relocated to The Centre mall (an affiliated business, Co-op Home Centre, took over the grocery store's former location in 2017). In addition, there are 29 home-based businesses in the neighbourhood.[1] The northeast corner of 8th Street East and Preston Avenue was the location of the Starlite Drive-In from 1950 to 1968, after which the land was redeveloped for a car dealership, residential, and other retail use.
