Burnside is a suburb of Christchurch, New Zealand, located southeast of Christchurch International Airport. As with most suburbs in Christchurch, it has no defined boundaries and is a general area.

History

Burnside was originally part of a farm, approximately {{convert|1700|acre|km2}} in size, owned by the early settler William Boag (1828-1904), who arrived in 1851 from Perthshire. It was named for the small creeks that formed the headwaters of the Waimairi Stream.^[1]^[2] The name Burnside was made official by the Waimairi County Council in 1959,^[3]

although Burnside Road had been renamed Memorial Avenue in 1950.^[4]

For the first hundred years of European settlement, the area in and around Burnside was farmland, with sheep, cattle and orchards occupying the land.
