Cardinal and Rothwell


 The land that would become the post-war subdivisions of Cardinal Heights (red) and Rothwell Heights (green) is depicted by H. Belden in his map of Gloucester Township, 1879. 

 Cardinal Heights was built between 1951 and 1957 and covers roughly 120 acres. The subdivision of Rothwell Height began in 1946 as "Hillsdale Heights" on Montreal Road — construction continued through the 20th Century — it would eventually cover some 430 acres.
