Located in the extreme southeast corner of Vancouver - from East 41st Avenue to the Fraser River and from Boundary Road and Vivian Street - Killarney was the last neighbourhood in Vancouver to be developed. This once rural area has experienced significant residential growth that began in the 1950s and continues to this day.

During the depression of the 1930s, relief workers were put to work clearing land for the Fraserview Golf Course; Vancouver's first public golf course. Before the course opened in 1935, cold and hungry residents were given permits to cut firewood and use the land for vegetable gardens.

Established in the 1890s, F.R. Stewart's eight hectare fruit farm supplied fruit to the Vancouver market, long before the Okanagan fruit industry evolved.

Vancouver's first cooperative housing development, DeCosmos Village, was built in Killarney in 1970.
