Originally it was called North Ryde Dress Circle Estate and belonged to North Ryde. But then he was for his own suburban East Ryde.

In July 2006, tried a number of residents without success, the place name to change again to allow for rising land prices. Proposals were Melba, Dress Circle, Boronia Heights, Bennelong and Wallumatta. The movement was eventually stopped at a public meeting at which spoke out about 75 % of the present inhabitants of East Ryde for the retention of the name.
