The land was annexed for Dundonald between 1975 and 1979, and construction began in the early to mid 1980s and reached full build out in the mid-1990s .

[4] The community is named after Dundonald Avenue, a major arterial street that for years marked the western boundary of development in Saskatoon.

The construction of the Circle Drive freeway resulted in Dundonald Avenue being removed between 11th and 33rd Streets.

When construction got underway on the neighbourhood, however, the northern stretch of Dundonald Avenue was renamed Junor Avenue in honour of Don Junor, a longtime businessman and civic leader in Saskatoon who was also a city councillor, which fit the criteria for street naming in the community (see below).

Prior to that, however, Dundonald was also plotted as a potential neighbourhood in the 1913 planning document by City Commissioner Christopher J. Yorath, approximately where the final community is today.
