F’dawn kien hemm il-kmamar tan-nar ta’ Ħal Tarxien u dik tal-Gudja. FL-1955 din iz-zona bdiet tiġi ppjanata u bdew biex jinbnew l-ewwel appartamenti. L-ewwel appartamenti ġew mikrija nhar it-8 ta’ Jannar 1966 u l-ewwel familja li marret toqgħod go appartament f’Santa Luċija kien fit-2 ta’ Marzu ta’ l-istess sena. Fi ftit żmien b’familja wara oħra din il-komunita` bdiet tieħu s-sura tagħha. llum il-popolazzjoni ta’ Santa Luċija hija ta’ 3500 persuna
