History

The suburb of Rydalmere was named by orchardist and property speculator Thomas O’Neill, who purchased and subdivided land in the area during the late 19th century. Drawing inspiration from his birthplace—Rydal in the English Lake District—O’Neill combined “Rydal” with the Old English word “mere,” meaning lake, to evoke the area's proximity to the Parramatta River and reinforce its picturesque, waterside character.
