History

Balgowlah was named after the Aboriginal word for ‘north harbour’, and was established in the 1830s as one of the first 10 villages in the County of Cumberland. Directly overlooking North Harbour and Manly Cove, Balgowlah Heights was originally farmland where food was grown for the new colony.

Major development in Balgowlah Heights did not commence until after the Second World War. In the 1960s, 44 home sites were auctioned on behalf of the NSW Lands Department. A record price was set by a block that sold for £5750.
