[edit] History
The origin of the suburb's name lies in the fact the eastern branch of South Creek became known as 'Eastern Creek'. The village that then grew where the road crossed the creek became known as Eastern Creek.
[edit] Commercial Areas
Eastern Creek features many industrial developments and often the description 'Eastern Creek Area' also includes the industrial developments in the neighbouring suburbs of Arndell Park and Huntingwood. With this in mind most statistics and demographic information is not available for this suburb by itself. Eastern Creek Waste and Recycling Centre also takes up a large part of the suburb.
[edit] Recreation
Eastern Creek Raceway hosts Round 5 in the V8 Supercar motor racing series. Wonderland Sydney was a large amusement park that operated here between 1985 and 2004. Wonderland is now the site of a business park called Interchange Park.
