Until this time the area had no consistent name being known by different people as Frogmore, York and Mount Hope.

A public meeting was called in October 1910 at the new school to choose a name and Orchard Hills won the day.

Kingswood and Claremont Meadows are northern neighbours and Glenmore Park, South Penrith and the rural areas of Wallacia and Mulgoa comprise the western boundary.

Its landscape is mainly overlaid with orchards and grapevines with some housing development in recent years.

This suburb epitomizes the City of Penrith's vision of a region with a harmony of urban and rural qualities.
