In order to make a new roadway into the industrial park, Dudley Street was realigned at the new road, which was named Dawes Avenue.

The area was originally dominated by the Mitchell's Gourmet Foods plant (once known as Intercontinental Packers) for decades, until the building was demolished in the late 2000s to make way for an extension of Circle Drive.

Although the subdivision has existed since the 1980s, it has a large number of vacant lots; this had the benefit of facilitating the construction of Circle Drive in the early 2010s as the City of Saskatoon was able to appropriate land for the freeway (and, specifically, its interchange with Valley Road) without needing to deal with too many businesses other than the aforementioned Mitchell's plant.

Holiday Park and the Gordie Howe Management Area lie to the east, and Dundonald Avenue forms the western boundary.
