History The estate was granted to Surgeon John Harris on 18 December 1805. Although listed as 700 acres, it did in fact consist of 785 acres.

A suburb can exist either as part of a larger city/urban area or as a separate political entity.

In most English-speaking countries, suburban areas are defined in contrast to central or inner city areas, but in Australian English and South African English, ''suburb'' has become largely synonymous with what ...
