The first official marriage ceremony in Zimbabwe took place on Avondale farm in 1894 when the Count de la Panouse was married to Fanny Pearson (Countess Billie) by Lt Col. Marshall Hole, the Chief Magistrate of Salisbury. Countess Billie managed the dairy farm and at the time supplied Salisbury with 100 bottles of milk a day and 100 pounds of butter a week.

Modern-day Avondale has expanded to include an extension, Avondale West, as well as a vibrant shopping centre with three supermarkets, a fleamarket, three cinemas, several restaurants in addition to various other shops and businesses.
