Until the late 19th century the village of Newton Mearns was a burgh of barony, holding a weekly market and two annual fairs. It experienced rapid growth during the first half of the 20th century, as the development of road and rail links made rapid travel into Glasgow possible. The 1931 population of 812 had risen to 4,317 by 1951, fuelled by the construction of villas, bungalows and housing schemes.
