History

The Aboriginal people in this area, the Awabakal, were the first people of this land. [2]

The first land grant was to James Peatie in August 1872. The street Peaties Road now carries his name. [3]

Another land grant was given to John Cherry in March 1876. [3]

The first subdivision occurred in 1918, encompassing Prospect Road, Park Road and Marshall Street. This appears to be the time the area was given the name 'Garden Suburb'. [3]

A post office opened in 1956 and the local primary school opened in 1958. [3]

The Forest Hills Estate was constructed between 1999 and 2005 in the South. The streets were named with a theme of flora.[ citation needed ]

The town had a post office and a convenience store, however these closed in 1987 and 2007, respectively.[ citation needed ]
