Paralowie, South Australia

Paralowie is a suburb in the north of Adelaide, South Australia. It is predominantly a residential suburb.
History
Settlement of the area dates from the late 19th century, with land used predominantly for market gardens and farms. Significant development did not occur until the post World War II years.
