History

Joseph Harrison and Mary-Ann Thompson were European settlers, settled on a block of land in the area in 1839 and built a small timber cottage they called ‘Cherrybrook Cottage.’

The name Cherrybrook is believed to come from the fact that they grew cherry trees near the creek which passed through their land.

Many of Cherrybrook’s streets are named after native plants, trees, historical figures from convict times or local landowners. When Cherrybrook was subdivided from 1959 onwards, the developers chose colonial architects as a theme for naming some streets. None of the colonial architects and surveyors were associated with or lived in Cherrybrook.
