[edit] History
Dundas and surrounding areas were originally known as "The Ponds" a name still reflected in The Ponds Creek. The first private land grants in Sydney made in 1791 were in what is now North East Dundas and adjoining Dundas Valley and Ermington.
The name Dundas was first used in 1799 after a parish of the same name in England.[1]
