==History==
The area around Chiswick was first known by its Aboriginal name Bigi Bigi. The suburb was originally part of Five Dock Farm. In the 1850s a Dr Fortescue owned an estate in this area which he named Chiswick after the village on the Thames, west of London. Parramatta River had been known as the 'Thames of the Antipodes' and other nearby suburbs were also named after Thames localities of Greenwich, Woolwich, Henley and Putney.〔''The Book of Sydney Suburbs'', Compiled by Frances Pollon, Angus & Robertson Publishers, 1990, Published in Australia ISBN 0-207-14495-8, page 61〕
More recently it has been subjected to an increase in the building of many modern apartment blocks, which has seen the population rise to around 2400.〔http://www.australian-post-codes.com/australian-population/state/new-south-wales/suburb/chiswick/postcode/2046〕
