History
Dean Park takes its name from the Dean family. William 'Lumpy' Dean (1776–1854) received two grants of land of 100 and 50 acres in 1817, and later a third one of 50 acres, beside Eastern Creek. His family owned the Bush Inn on the Western Highway.
Dean Park is home to William Dean Public School named in honour of the Convict originally granted the land.
The suburb was originally planned and developed in the early 1980s. Some of the street names are aboriginal in origin such as Yarramundi Drive. It is saidthat other street names take on the names of the original site developers, the Hoyle brothers (Nathan, Kenneth and Wayne).
