Glenorie, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Glenorie is a suburb in Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of the Sydney CBD and is part of the Baulkham Hills Shire
The original inhabitants of the Glenorie area were known as the Darug people. The Darug were the custodians of the majority of what is now the Greater Sydney region. They were divided into a number of different ‘clans’. These clans were reduced in number after European settlement and, as a result there is very little information remaining on how the local area was utilised or how the people lived.
Originally, Glenorie was known as North Dural. In April 1894 local residents offered the Colony's Postmaster General two names: Hazeldene and Glenorie. The name Glenorie was accepted because it had the support of the local progress association. Glenorie was named after a town in Scotland.
Glenorie has a rural charm however it is close to the major suburbs of Castle Hill and Hornsby which both offer all the necessary services.
