History of Engadine

In 1879, the suburb was initially reserved for a national park, but Charles McAlister acquired it in 1890. McAlister’s family renamed their estate as “Engadine” after Engadin Valley in Switzerland. The suburb was said to be “reminiscent” of the valley and hills in Engadin.

Around early the 1900s, McAlister subdivided his land and lived there for a few years before moving to another suburb.

From land for grazing, Engadine became a destination for camping and day-trips to residents from the inner-Syndey suburbs. The opening of a railway station in the suburb in 1920, paved the way for many people, mostly ex-soldiers of World War I, to settle in Engadine. This explains why several streets in the suburb are named related to the war, like Anzac, Amiens, Tobruk and Bullecourt.

In the following years, several establishments opened in Engadine such as the post office (1927) and a school (1932). By the 1960s, Engadine became a residential area with the remaining land parcels being developed in the 1990s.
