Rooty Hill, New South Wales
(From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.)
Rooty Hill is a suburb in the City of Blacktown. The purpose of Kings Rooty Hill settlement was to provide a reserve for government-owned cattle. The south-western part of this vast area (which closely follows Blacktown City's current boundary) came to be known as the Rooty Hill Run.
Rooty Hill was named after a hill on Norfolk Island. The origin of this name puzzled historians for many years because the clue lay not in Blacktown City but on Norfolk Island. Governor Philip Gidley King had been in charge of the first settlement there in early 1788 and had noted that the hillside where he had built his Government House had been difficult to dig owing to the amount of tree roots beneath the surface. The hill on Norfolk became known as the rooty hill and the name is now official. When King returned to New South Wales he built the headquarters for his government reserve of 1802 at the foot of a hill that reminded him of the Norfolk Island rooty hill and there can be little doubt that he named Blacktown's Rooty Hill after that on Norfolk where he had met his future wife and spent several happy and productive years. The name Rooty Hill first appeared on a map in 1803.
