History
Monterey was originally part of Brighton-Le-Sands and Ramsgate. As the area developed, street names with a
Californian influence were selected such as
Hollywood,
Monterey,
Pasadena and
Culver. A small group of shops were built on Chuter Avenue, near Monterey Street. When the post office opened here it was known as the Monterey post office. Rockdale Council wanted to create a new suburb, although not everyone agreed with this name as some thought it was too American, especially with some of the street names already in the area. Since most people were in favour, Monterey was officially declared a suburb in 1972.
Scarborough Park was once part of Pat Moore's Swamp or Patmore Swamp. It was named by the Hon. Thomas Holt after the
English coastal town of
Scarborough, North Yorkshire.
