Perrone Road was named in honour of the First World War soldiers who did not return home from France. Peronne, a small town in the north end of the Somme River, was part of the Battle of the Somme during the First World War.
Other streets named from Battles from the Great War include: Beaumont Avenue, Suvla Road, Polygon Road and Monchy Road. Haig Road was named for the British Field Marshall, later so vilified for the failure of the Somme Offensive, who commanded the British Expeditionary Force, which included the Royal Newfoundland Regiment.
