[edit] History
Canley Heights takes its name from its sister-suburb down the hill, Canley Vale. When Sir Henry Parkes settled there in the mid-1800s, he named his home Canley Grange, after his birthplace Canley Moat House in Stoneleigh, Warwickshire, England.
In 1959, missionaries Carl and Lova Swart from the Church of God Reformation Movement in the United States established the first congregation of the denomination in Australia on Saint John's Road in Canley Heights. The church closed shortly before the turn of the century, and the building is now owned and used by another Christian church.
