Hillfields estate which sits in Fishponds, in the east of the city, was built in 1919.
Council tenants moved in the following year, with early residents working in the nearby factories.
A lot of work would be found with companies such as Robinsons - along Goodneston Road in the Fishponds industrial trading estate.
This year a project called Homes for Heroes 100 will be holding a celebration to commemorate the founding of Hillfields and Sea Mills, another early estate in the north of the city.
The project will involve local people offering tours around the estates.
Bristol Live paid a visit to Hillfields to talk to people about how life is on Bristol's first council estate is like today.
Bristol's first council house
The first block of council houses on the Hillfields estate were along Briar Way and Forest Road.
A plaque stands outside number 56 Briar Way, the oldest house on the estate, and therefore, the oldest council house in Bristol.
Some historians are, however, debating this - suggesting that they were all built simultaneously on this block.
Shopping
If you live in Hillfields most people will do their shopping on nearby Lodge Causeway.
Here lies an array of shops including a Tesco Metro. For the bigger supermarkets many will go down the causeway to the main Fishponds Road.
Both Lodge Causeway and Fishponds Road shops were already established long before the Hillfields council estate was built.
The park
The play park was revamped in recent years with urban regeneration funding.
It's a central point for families and contains modern play equipment including a cradle swings, a Hip Hop slide, a balance tube and a space net.
Michelle Travanti, 45, grew up here, moved away and has now been back for 8 months.
She was at the park with her daughter, granddaughter and their friend.
She loves the park, and said: "The park is very good, we always come here. Feels safe, and lots of families come, it's always well used. "
Of the Hillfields area itself she thinks it contains a great community spirit.
She said: "Everyone is really lovely here to be honest.
"We have lots of friends, and knows lots of people that come here. It's a good location, and we aren't too far from the a sports centre where we like to go."
Like any council estate Hillfields can have it's issues, and in relation to this Michelle said: "Well we hear about stuff happening, but I don't tend to go out much after dark to be honest, so it's all just hear say.
"I haven't seen anything, for me it's been a real positive experience. I love it here."
Community Hub
Hillfields Youth Club has served generations of young people on the estate.
Formerly run by Bristol City Council, today youth services are overseen by Creative Youth Network who run them on a contract.
Youth activities are part of the the wider Hillfields Community hub, where other organisations use the centre to deliver services to local people including Hillfields Young Mums group, Hillfields kickboxing club and a local creche.
Youth worker Natalie Bennet works for Creative Youth Network that run sessions at the community hub.
The community hub has a chill out space, a kitchen, an indoor sport centre, and a weights gym.
Outside there is a BMX track, and an outdoor ballcourt, which is used for football and basketball.
The school
The primary school that is in the centre of the Hillfields estate is Minerva Academy.
The school was once know as Hillfields Primary school, but became part of the Cabot Learning Federation.
Since then it's had considerable rebuilding and redesigning of the buildings.
The nearest senior school is Bristol Brunel, formerly Speedwell school, where most children from Hillfields will go.
However, John Cabot and Bristol Metropolitan Academy, once Whitefield school in Fishponds.
Sport
Hillfields Old Boys Football Club play in the Bristol and District League and their matches are in the local area.
Lots of the players past and present have come form the estate itself.
Also just outside the estate in Barton Fields are Barton Hill Rugby Club - one of the most established and successful clubs in the city, who play in the Tribute Western Counties North league.
Hillfields Library
The library in Hillfields is open three days a week and run by Bristol City Council.
It's a real community hub, where regular kids and family activities happen, from baby bounce and rhyme to chess club.
