History

John Hillas (1768–1837) arrived in Australia in 1801 and received two land grants (in 1801 and 1804) on the Windsor Road. The second of these, of 150 acres, he named "Stanhope Farm". He established an inn, the Stanhope Arms on Windsor Road, to cater for the traffic between the Macquarie Towns and Parramatta.

By 1856, the Pearce family owned Stanhope Farm. In 1928, Jack Peel bought Stanhope Farm and called it Stanhope Park Dairy.

In 1973, the New South Wales Housing Commission compulsorily resumed Stanhope Park Dairy.

The suburb name reflects these early properties. Stanhope Gardens Estate opened in 1995 and was recognised as a suburb in 1996. [2]

When Stanhope Gardens was first being developed into what it is today, it was called Irish Town, Kellyville and Parklea. A petition was sent around with most people voting to keep Stanhope in the name, becoming Stanhope Gardens.

Newbury Estate – a master-planned estate – now occupies a large part of the suburb of Stanhope Gardens, planned by Landcom in 1999 and majority built by Mirvac. [3] Newbury estate compromise of 1,761 properties, subdivided into seven community title subdivisions, each with its community facility including a clubhouse, tennis court, pool, spa and BBQ area.
