History:

Balgowlah Heights is a relatively young suburb which only developed significantly in the 60s, probably because its elevated location made it a challenge to reach and build on before that.
Originally Balgowlah was inhabited by Aboriginal tribes and there are a number of Aboriginal sites which have been found and recorded in the nearby vicinity.
As with most suburbs in the Northern Beaches, the name is based on an Aboriginal word: in this case ‘Balgowlah’ referencing North Harbour – a name given due to its position in relation to Port Jackson.
