Annangrove is a suburb of Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia. Annangrove is located 42 kilometres north-west of the Sydney central business district in the local government area of The Hills Shire and part of the Hills District region. [1]
History
Annangrove is named after Annangrove House, the home of Edward Charles Johnston, a grandson of George Johnston who had received a large grant in present-day Annandale. He had named his house Annandale, after his birthplace Annan in Scotland and his grandson also used the name for his house in this area. Timber cutting was the first industry here and then the land was used for orchards from the 1880s. Edward Johnston bought his land in 1893 from Bennett William Johns. The post office took the Annangrove name from his house when it opened in 1895, as did the school in 1896.[2]
