HistoryThe southern pocket of Woodville North, historically called Finsbury Park,[2] used to be a much stronger and active industrial area, with a Government Supply Depot for military purposes operating in the area during the Second World War, which was the basis for the existence of a railway line and station that is now the location of an Islamic mosque . Woodville North Post Office opened on 14 February 1966. An earlier office of the same name was renamed Kilkenny North in 1964.[3] TransportHanson Road is served by the 253, 254 and the 253X & 254X express bus services. Torrens Road is served by the 230, 232 and 100 services. Park Avenue is served by the 252 service. The Finsbury railway line used to run parallel to Audley Street, mainly to service the industrial activity in the area, but this was removed in 1979 due to the industrial decline. Finsbury railway station occupied the site of the al-Khalil mosque. DemographicsWoodville North is home to a large immigrant population. The initial settlement of the suburb coincided with a large wave of immigrants from Eastern Europe following the Second World War. Although most of their children have moved on, a large number of immigrant retirees still live in the area. Another wave of immigration occurred in the 1980s, when Vietnamese immigrants arrived after the Vietnam War. Currently, more than 50% of the population is from a non-English speaking background.{{citation needed|date=September 2007}} References1. ^{{Census 2006 AUS|id =SSC42891|name=Woodville North (State Suburb)|accessdate=1 July 2008| quick=on}} {{City of Charles Sturt suburbs}}2. ^{{Cite web |url=http://maps.sa.gov.au.plb |title=Search result for 'Finsbury Park, SUBD' |id=SA0024026 |work=Property Location Browser |publisher=Government of South Australia |accessdate=16 August 2017 |quote=Current Name: Woodville North (portion); Other Details: Private subdivision of sections 412 & 2070}} 3. ^{{Cite web | last = Premier Postal History | title = Post Office List | publisher = Premier Postal Auctions | url = https://www.premierpostal.com/cgi-bin/wsProd.sh/Viewpocdwrapper.p?SortBy=SA&country= | accessdate = 26 May 2011}} 1 : Suburbs of Adelaide |
