History


In 1817, John Wylde, the judge-advocate of New South Wales, was granted 2,000 acres (8.1 km2) in the Parish of Cabramatta. He named his property Cecil Hills after his British property in Chestnut, Hertfordshire. He lived on the property only briefly before leaving to become Chief Justice of the Cape of Good Hope in South Africa. His wife Elizabeth remained, however, and managed the property until her death in 1864. It continued as a farm through until the 1980s when it was decided to redevelop it for housing. The suburb of Cecil Hills was named in 1992 and includes part of the old Cecil Hills property along with other neighbouring.
In 2019–20, Cecil Hills previously suffered bush fires from fire crackers.
