History
Kurrajong Hills was previously known as Kurrajong North and Netley Hill. In 1927 Netley Hill Post Office, operated by Louisa Hearne, opened on the corner of Bells Line of Road and Hermitage Road. In 1938 the name was changed to North Kurrajong Post Office. It closed in 1968. In 1971 an attempt to officially name the area Netley Hill met with local opposition. The name Kurrajong Hills was settled on and assigned on 10 September 2004.[2]
