History
European Settlement
William Henry was one of Ku-ring-gai's first European settlers, who used the area for farming. There were a number of fruit orchards and market gardens in the area.
Other significant settlers were David Mathew, who owned a property called Clanville, and Richard Archbold, who was granted an area of 600 acres adjacent to Clanville. Archbold later acquired Clanville and set up an orchard on the property. Archbold's son-in-law had a stone cottage called Rose Villa, which was later demolished to make way for the northern railway line. The area eventually derived its name from Rose Villa.
