Major [[Francis Grose (Lieutenant-Governor)]] sent workmen to the area in 1793 to clear the bush and plant corn and wheat. He named the area Peters-Ham or [[Petersham]] after his native village in [[Surrey]], [[England]]. Petersham remained an agricultural area, winning awards for some of the best crops and stock in the colony in 1803. Kangaroo hunting was also popular in the area. The name was also used for the surrounding [[Petersham Parish, Cumberland|parish]].


Dr Robert Wardell (1793-1834) purchased land from many grantees in the district and in 1831 his estate eventually stretched {{convert|2000|acre|km2}} from Petersham to the [[Cooks River]]. Following his murder by escaped convicts in 1834, the estate was subdivided. The train line from [[Central railway station, Sydney|Sydney]] to [[Parramatta railway station, Sydney|Parramatta]] opened in 1855 and trains stopped here from 1857. A platform was built in 1863. The original Petersham [[Post Office|post office]] became [[Annandale, New South Wales|Annandale]] in 1855.

The Daily Telegraph of [[3 May]] [[1945]] stated that two civilians were injured and a total of 18 properties were damaged. Five houses were set on fire by the falling debris.

It was suspected that a violent pull out from a power dive, with its associated high 'g' forces may have led to the [[structural failure]] of the aircraft.

[[Flight Lieutenant]] David Rochford of [[Oxford|Oxford, England]] and LAC Charles Boydell from [[Mosman, New South Wales|Mosman]] were both killed. F/Lt Rochford's body was found in the playground of Petersham Public School while LAC Boydell's body was found on the roof of a railway building about 100 metres away.

Following his murder by escaped convicts in 1834, the estate was subdivided. The train line from Sydney to Parramatta opened in 1855 and trains stopped here from 1857. A platform was built in 1863. The original Petersham post office became Annandale in 1855. Another post office opened as Norwood in May 1860 and was moved to Petersham station in 1870. The first public school opened in 1878.
