In 1842, South Road was first referenced in the South Australian Government Gazette, noting sheep stations near its intersection with Sturt Road, now Bedford Park. (en.wikipedia.org) By 1964, the road bypassed Old Reynella, marking a significant shift in the suburb's development. (en.wikipedia.org) The area, originally established in 1840, is named after John Reynell, a pioneering winemaker who planted some of the first vines in South Australia.
