History
Following European settlement, many new settlements were established to the south west of Sydney, to cater for the growing agricultural demands of the growing colony. The European peoples are the various Nations and Ethnic groups of Europe. A town is a type of settlement ranging from a few to several thousand (occasionally hundreds of thousands inhabitants although it may be applied loosely even to huge metropolitan Agriculture refers to the production of goods through the growing of plants and fungi and the raising of domesticated Animals The study of agriculture This article is about a type of political territory For other uses see Colony (disambiguation. The land surrounding these settlements were subsequently divided up and given away as land grants to settlers in order to establish farms. One such grant, 100 acres (0. The acre is a unit of Area in a number of different systems including the imperial and U 4 km²) worth, was that given to Thomas Clarkson on the western hills of Campbelltown, at the base of what is now called the 'Scenic Hills'. For the local government area, see City of Campbelltown. Campbelltown is a Suburb in south-western Clarkson, an ex-convict turned businessman and baker, established the property of 'Woodland Grove,' which not only covered modern day Eagle Vale, but most of its surrounding suburbs. After his death in 1826, his property was sold to Jemima Jenkins, a wealthly widow of the founder of the Bank of New South Wales (now Westpac). This article is about the bank For the defunct airline see Western Pacific Airlines. This article is about the bank For the defunct airline see Western Pacific Airlines. She renamed the property 'Eagle Farm' and used the address 'Eagle Farm, Eagle Vale. ' The name Eagle Vale originated from two creeks that ran through the property, Eagle Creek and Valebrook, the later now being located in the suburb of Eschol Park. A stream is a body of Water with a current, confined within a bed and stream-banks (The two creeks were later converted into [flood retention basins' and stormwater channels) She later sold a large part of the western side of the property to the Kearns family, who used it to expand the adjacent property of 'Epping Forest. ' Once Jenkins died, the land eventually ended up in the ownership of William Fowler, a Campbelltown business man, who again renamed the property, this time to 'Eschol Park,' and the name Eagle Vale eventually fell into a period of disuse. For the local government area, see City of Campbelltown. Campbelltown is a Suburb in south-western
It was not until 1976, when the property of Highlands was being subdivided for suburban residential use that the name of Eagle Vale surfaced once again, to be applied to the new subdivision between the newly developed suburb of Eschol Park and the public housing estate of Claymore. In 1978, the first housing lots were released, and several land releases continued into the 1980s, with some smaller releases continuing into the early 1990s. The relatively low price of the land meant that it quickly attracted first home buyers, often young families. Eagle Vale, much like the rest of Campbelltown area, has often attracted an unfortunate reputation for being a somewhat undesirable suburb, an attitude that is compounded by its proximity to the public housing suburb of Claymore which itself is often negatively perceived. For the local government area, see City of Campbelltown. Campbelltown is a Suburb in south-western This negative image of Claymore even prompted residents of privately owned houses in the suburb to lobby for the suburb borders to be altered in order to place them into Eagle Vale, which was eventually achieved in 1986. This explains why some of the streets on the eastern side of the suburb have names following Claymore's street naming theme, Great Australian Artists, such as Albert Namatjira, rather than Eagle Vale's theme of mineral and gemstones, such as Emerald, Cameo and Aquamarine.

The suburb features several parks and reserves, including Thomas Clarkson Reserve, located on the former route of Eagle Creek, which features the original ornamental pond from the Jenkins estate. Adjacent suburbs also feature parks named after Jemima Jenkins (in Kearns) and William Fowler (in Eschol Park); and Valebrook Reserve, located on the former location of Valebrook Creek.
Over recent years the suburb and surrounding areas have had a large influx of overseas born residents with an increasing number of Pacific Islanders settling into the area.
