Background
History
The area around Chiswick was first known by its Aboriginal name Bigi Bigi. The suburb was originally part of Five Dock Farm. In the 1850s a Dr Fortescue owned an estate in this area which he named Chiswick after the village on the Thames, west of London. Parramatta River had been known as the 'Thames of the Antipodes' and other nearby suburbs were also named after Thames localities, such as Greenwich, Woolwich, Henley and Putney. From 1884 until 1998, there was a wire mill on the waterfront at Chiswick. More recently it has been subjected to an increase in the building of many modern apartment blocks, which has seen the population rise to around 2,400.
