==History==
The Ballajura area was first settled in 1905, when Ernest Maltby Kerruish, an immigrant from the Isle of Man, purchased land for a farm at the present site, which at the time was located in Caversham. He named it Ballajora, after a farm at Maughold on the Isle of Man.〔https://www.landgate.wa.gov.au/corporate.nsf/web/History+of+metropolitan+suburb+names〕 John Creer and Arthur Eaton, who also emigrated with Kerruish from the Isle of Man, joined him in clearing the land to build a house and begin farming the land. After a few years, Kerruish decided the soil was not fertile enough and moved his operations to an established vineyard in the present-day Caversham area, a few kilometres southeast.
The names Kerruish, Eaton, and Creer have been given to three of the four houses of Ballajura Primary School. The fourth is named after Matilda Bennett, a woman also of Manx descent who was the wife of John Septimus Roe, the first surveyor general of Western Australia under the first governor of the state, Sir James Stirling. Bennett Brook, a stream which ran through the Ballajora farm, was also named after Matilda Bennett.
The suburb was further developed in the 1980s with the development of two sub divisions of Lakeshore and the Lakes Estate both becoming sought after locations with the development around lakes and parks attracting a high quality of homes with the median price of housing within the subdivisions attracting prices 75-100% to that of the rest of Ballajura many residents within the area wish the area to be officially renamed a proposal for this was opposed by members of the local council concerned that it would impact negatively on the remaining suburb of Ballajura.
