History
Strathmore Park grew after the private secondary school Scots College opened in 1919. From the 1930s it was the site of a state housing development. Many of the original state houses remain, particularly in Taiaroa Street and Raukawa Street. In the 1960s three state-housing apartment blocks known as Star Flats were built in Strathmore Park.
