The area now known as “Rosehill” was connected to the settlement of Sydney Cove about 1791 by a rough track. At first known only as “The Path”, this inevitably evolved into Parramatta Road as the settlement of Parramatta superseded the naming of Rose Hill.

(Formerly Mermaid Street up to 1918. “Mermaid” was the name of the ship of Allan Cunningham, renowned explorer surveying Australian coast. He was responsible for thousands of rare plants in the Botanical Gardens.) This street borders Goddard Park”, hence the name.
