Earlsbrook street names

This land has a story that goes back well over a century before Earlsbrook. Long before these streets took shape, it was part of "The Springs" run, one of the original Canterbury farming stations, and passed through the hands of a handful of families who worked, built, and lived on it. Alongside that farming story is one of learning. From the home of a small school of agriculture to a world-leading university that has shaped New Zealand's rural and scientific life.

Earlsbrook's street names bring both of these threads together.

The area we now call Earlsbrook was worked and shaped by a handful of pioneer families across more than a century. From Edward Fitzgerald's original "Springs" run in the 1850s, through the O'Callaghans and Pearsons, to the Greenslade family who farmed here most recently and still call the historic Chudleigh homestead home, Earlsbrook Square's street names are a tribute to the people who came before, and who helped this region flourish.

Lincoln University is New Zealand's oldest agricultural university, and the oldest agricultural teaching institution in the Southern Hemisphere. Scholars Quarter's street names are an ode to the leaders who transformed Lincoln University (known originally as The Lincoln School of Agriculture and later the Canterbury Agricultural College) from a small agricultural school into one of New Zealand's top universities and an agricultural research hub. They celebrate the people who shaped the wider farming region and scientific community not just in Lincoln, but throughout the country.
