Parramatta River had been known as the 'Thames of the Antipodes' and other nearby suburbs were also named after Thames localities of Greenwich, Woolwich, Henley and Putney.[3] More recently it has been subjected to an increase in the building of many modern apartment blocks, which has seen the population rise to around 2400.[4] DemographicsAccording to the 2011 census, there were 2,470 residents in Chiswick.
