History
Garrowhill was developed as a residential area in the mid-1930s, built as an upmarket housing development neighbouring the then village of Baillieston.
Garrowhill was brought within Glasgow's city boundaries in 1975 along with Baillieston, under the terms of the Local Government (Scotland) Act, 1973.
Although sometimes considered separate from Baillieston, Garrowhill along with Swinton and Barrachnie are within the Baillieston Ward of Glasgow City Council.
