Development
The very first development to occur along the coast of O'Sullivan Beach can be traced back to pre-colonization times, almost 40,000 years ago. The Aboriginal Kaurna people used the coastal area of O'Sullivan Beach as a place for seasonal residence. In particular, the mouth of Christie Creek was used as a Kaurna campsite - Christie Creek was also one of the last recorded sites where traditional burial practices were observed.
The O'Sullivan Beach suburb was developed to provide housing to accompany the development of the Lonsdale industrial development and the adjacent Port Stanvac oil refinery facility.
The suburb of O'Sullivan Beach was further developed as a public housing estate in the 60s and 70s by the South Australian Housing Trust, however most of these homes have subsequently become privately owned.
