Oakleigh Park is a name invented by the Whetstone Freehold Estate Company who acquired land here in 1869. It intended to establish a 'superior suburb' and the name was firmly established when the nearby railway station was so named in 1873. Certainly the houses here on Oakleigh Park North are of the superior sort, although in practice much of the area was built up after the estate had been sold.
