History

As well as being relatively small, Englorie Park is also a relatively new suburb, having only been designated by the Geographical Names Board in March 2000. Prior to then it was part of the suburb of Campbelltown.[4] It draws its name from the historic Englorie Park House which was built in 1880 by greyhound breeder Alfred Park. Originally called Parkholme, the property was renamed Euglorie Park by Charles Burcher of Euglo Station, Condobolin. This later became corrupted to Englorie Park.[5]
