History

Strathfield was the name of one of the large homes of the local area.[1] A major landmark in the area is Ardill House (or Our Children's Home) in Davidson Avenue, which was built by in 1861 John Bibb for Henry David Bray. It was enlarged circa 1880 and is now on the Register of the National Estate.[2]

North Strathfield was an area of industrial developments. In recent years, the area has been gentrified, with many high density residential developments replacing industrial sites.
