Located 31kms from Sydney city, Baulkham Hills was originally home to the Bidjigal people, who are believed to be a clan of the Darug people, who occupied the land to the west of Sydney. The first European settler in the Baulkham Hills Shire was William Joyce. In 1794 he was given a grant of 30 acres in what became Baulkham Hills. The name Baulkham Hills was given to the area by Andrew McDougall, a settler from Buckholm Hills, County of Roxburgh, Scotland. The name, which reminded McDougall of his homeland, was officially recognised in 1802. The Bidjigal people are today commemorated by Bidjigal Reserve, which straddles the suburbs of Castle Hill, Baulkham Hills, North Rocks, and West Pennant Hills.
