Mount Pritchard was originally home to the Cabrogal people who occupied much of the greater Fairfield area.

In 1913, land west of Cabramatta Creek and Orange Grove Road previously owned by the Bull family was subdivided into smaller residential lots by a real estate property salesman named Hugh Pritchard, who named it the Cabramatta Park Estate.

[5] From the early settler days the general area had been known unofficially as Mount Misery, originally because of a story of one of the early settlers and his family camping there whilst travelling, losing their bullocks, and for three weeks remaining in misery until starvation compelled them to beat a retreat, minus bullocks and dray.

Other languages spoken at home included Vietnamese 22.8%, Arabic 8.2%, Serbian 4.7%, Khmer 3.0% and Cantonese 2.3%.
