In the Australian state of New South Wales, the suburb of Rooty Hill is located in Sydney. Rooty Hill, in the local government area of the City of Blacktown and a part of the Greater Western Sydney region, is situated 42 kilometres west of the Sydney CBD.

Captain Watkin Tench led the first expedition into the region in 1789. For a long time, historians couldn’t figure out where this name came from because the answer was on Norfolk Island, not in Blacktown City. The initial settlement there was overseen by Governor Philip Gidley King, who noted that the hillside where he had built his Government House had been challenging to dig due to the abundance of tree roots below the surface. The name Rooty Hill for Norfolk hill has been given official status.At the base of a hill that reminded King of the Norfolk Island Rooty Hill and bore the same name, King constructed the administrative center for his government reserve in 1802 when he returned to New South Wales. In 1803, the name Rooty Hill first appeared on a map.

The Minchinbury estate was built in the early years of the region’s growth after Captain William Minchin received a grant of 400 hectares (1,000 acres) in 1819. The estate was bought in 1859 by Dr. Charles McKay, who split it in the 1880s. The Watts family then constructed Watts Cottage in Watt Street. It is practically unique in the Blacktown Municipality and blends bullnose verandah and Italianate architectural characteristics. It is a local historic site.

Dr. Charles McKay provided the site on which the Pioneer Memorial Church, which is located on Rooty Hill Road South, was constructed. James Angus, who had owned the Minchinbury estate since 1895, eventually purchased it for the Presbyterian neighbourhood; it had been a Baptist church in the past. It is still in operation and is on the list of local historic sites.
The School of Arts, which is on Rooty Hill Road South, was constructed by the locals in 1902–1903 for neighbourhood events. On November 1, 1902, Miss Angus, James Angus’s daughter, lay the cornerstone. It is a local historic site.

James Angus was murdered on April 13, 1916, when an express train struck him at the Rooty Hill railroad crossing. His wife, son James (of Adelaide), son John (a pastoralist in New South Wales), and daughter—who at the time was Mrs. Fleming—all survived him.
James Angus’ name is kept alive in Angus Avenue, Charles McKay’s name is kept alive in Dr. Charles McKay Reserve, and the Evans family, who developed Fairholme, is kept alive in Evans Road. Locally, Fairholme is on the heritage list and is currently a part of St. Agnes Catholic High School.
