Como West is a locality in southern Sydney, in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
In early 1884, James Frederick Murphy (Manager of the Holt-Sutherland Company Estate) is attributed as being responsible for the renaming of the postal locality previously known as "Woronora" – to "COMO".
[1][circular reference] Thirty years later on 19 June 1914, the elevated portion of "Como" lying west of the Illawarra Railway line & extending west to the Woronora River is first referred to as "Como Heights" in a local tourism advertisement published in numerous papers around New South Wales.
[2] Six years later on 10 September 1920, the term "Como Heights Estate" appears in a land sale advertisement in The Propellor, Hurstville.
[3] A further six years elapsed, then on 5 June 1926, an article referring to the "West Como Progress Association" is published by the Evening News, Sydney, newspaper.
