Early maps of the area such as Blaeu and Ainsley show some pre-existing settlements which have lasted into the present day such as Byres, Hyndland and Merkland. A busy period of street building followed in the period 1850 – 1880 after Partick became a burgh, many named after its prominent citizens and provosts (White St., Purdon St., Gardner St.) Partick was annexed by City of Glasgow in 1912, becoming a district. |
