History

The Guy family farmed in the area for 40 years from the late 19th century. The Guy homestead, built in 1898, was badly damaged by a suspected arson in 2012. [3] The house was later restored. [4] [5] Huntington Park was named after a farm owned by George Harris in the area, that had the similar name Huntingdom Farm. [6]

Most of the houses were built in the 1990s. [7] Even in 1998, the area was rural. [8] The Hub Botany shopping centre opened in Huntington Park in 2001. [9] It has 200 stores,[ citation needed ] including a Countdown supermarket. [10]
