When it was first surveyed in the mid-19th century, it was named "Soldier's Flat", it was later renamed to its current name in 1897, after the Morris family's vineyard, which had been located in the area for over twenty years. Small industries, including a sweet factory, a brickworks, and a bonemill started cropping up after the Great War.
