History

Dean Park takes its name from the Dean family. William 'Lumpy' Dean (1776–1854) received two grants of land of 100 and 50 acres in 1817, and later a third one of 50 acres, beside Eastern Creek. His family owned the Bush Inn on the Western Highway. Dean Park is home to William Dean Public School named in honour of the Convict originally granted the land.
