History of Hurstville

The suburb’s name was derived from the terms ‘Hurst’, which means ‘a wooded eminence’ and “Ville”, meaning town.

It is believed that the first inhabitants of the area were Indigenous Australians before the arrival of the European settlers.

In 1808 the Hurstville region (which includes the suburb and other surrounding areas) was granted to Captain John Townson and his brother, Robert Townson. However, the Townson brothers did not utilise the land given to them as they found it unsuitable for farming sheep. It was in 1843 when a dam with a roadway opened up the Hurstville region to settlers.

A school named “Hurstville” by School Inspector MacIntrye opened in 1876, and a Post Office was established in the Hurstville area in 1881, where many change hands happened during the suburb’s development. In 1884, a railway station began operating in the suburb and took its name from the local school.

The Hurstville municipality was incorporated in 1887 and after a year was officially declared a city.
