== History ==
Mount Pritchard was originally home to the Cabrogal people who occupied much of the greater Fairfield area. In the early 19th century, the land was granted to a number of ex-convicts for farming. Later it was made part of the Male Orphan School Estate. In 1913, land west of Cabramatta Creek and Orange Grove Road previously owned by the Bull family was subdivided into smaller residential lots by a real estate property salesman named Hugh Pritchard, who named it the Cabramatta Park Estate.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Houses and Land For Sale )〕 From 1919, to honour Mr Pritchard's releasing from debt a number of landowners he'd financed (who were behind in their payments), the estate was renamed Mount Pritchard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Peace Offering )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Mount Pritchard )〕 The local electoral polling place followed suit in 1924.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Names Changed )〕 From the early settler days the general area had been known unofficially as ''Mount Misery'', originally because of a story of one of the early settlers and his family camping there whilst travelling, losing their bullocks, and for three weeks remaining in misery until starvation compelled them to beat a retreat, minus bullocks and dray.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Towns And Villages of New South Wales )〕
