History

Frewville was originally part of the farming land originally sold to William Giles — this land is now known as the suburb of Fullarton. In early maps Frewville is shown to be on both the north-eastern and south-western sides of Glen Osmond Road. In 1853 James Frew paid 2,200 pounds for the 130 acre allotment after Glen Osmond Road was cut through the middle of the Section. Frewville was originally used for the grazing of horses by the early colonists, but the village of Frewville was laid out in 1854 in Section 265. In 1855 a blacksmith set up on the corner closest to Adelaide. Fullarton is a suburb of Adelaide in the City of Unley. ... Glen Osmond Road is a major Highway 1 road in the city of Adelaide, South Australia. ... The Australian pound was Australias currency from 1910 to 1966. ...

In 1855 the Frewville Inn was established on Glen Osmond Road. In the next few years a weighbridge was established by the Hollard family - whose name is remembered as one of the streets in Frewville. There was at about this time a single large two storey wooden villa house that was set well back from Glen Osmond Road. Tall pines were planted along Glen Osmond Road.

In 1881 most of Frewville was then subdivided into the property boundaries that exist today. The suburb was populated by the "new" trades-people of the day - electricians, gas fitters and the like.

In the 1930s Frewville was "landmarked" by the unusual advertising of a car wrecking yard on Glen Osmond Road. The car body of a Model "T" Ford was wedged high up in the branches of a tree.

In the 1960s and 1970s the national freight carrier IPEC housed its main office and distribution centre at Freville. The building has now been subdivided into offices.

On the northern side of the suburb, in the Glenside hospital, a chemical research company built a large 2 story building in Flemington Street. This building caught fire sometime in the 1980s, and now is the headquarters for the Royal District Nursing Society, a community-based nursing service.

The McDonald's restaurant on Glen Osmond Road was one of the first McDonald's restaurants in Adelaide. McDonalds Corporation (NYSE: MCD) is the worlds largest chain of fast-food restaurants, primarily selling hamburgers, chicken, french fries, milkshakes and soft drinks. ...
