The residential area built on farmland to the north east of Bourne as part of the housing boom following the Second World War brought extra streets and roads to the town. Queen's Road was under construction with Edinburgh Crescent adjoining in 1953, the year that Queen Elizabeth II was crowned in the company of her consort, the Duke of Edinburgh, and so the two names reflected this national celebration.
