[edit] History
Pemulwuy is named after the Aboriginal warrior, Pemulwuy, who led attacks on the British troops in the surrounding areas, particularly on the Toongabbie settlement. Pemulwuy is a relatively new suburb, with development beginning in 2004 on the site of an old Boral quarry.
Street names in the suburb include Watkin Tench Parade, named after Captain Watkin Tench, who first saw the Blue Mountains when he stood atop Prospect Hill in 1789.
