Clans of the Tharawal roamed over a wide area from Botany Bay to the Shoalhaven River and inland to Campbelltown.

They lived a nomadic hunter-gatherer lifestyle, eating local foods (bush tucker) such as kangaroo, fish, yams and berries.

They made tools out of stones, bones and shells to help them build bark shelters, canoes and possum-skin clothing.

[4] The streets of Leumeah are named after famous dams, lakes of NSW, explorers and pioneer farmers.

Continuing the theme from the suburb's own naming, Campbelltown Stadium, home of Macarthur FC, was originally called Orana Park after an aboriginal word for "welcome".
