From 1838 the area formed part of an extensive grazing grant that was developed further by a succession of owners up until the 1920's. The original sub-division of Chirnside Park was, at that time, known as Mooroolbark Park. Around 1000 acres (4 km²) of mainly rich black basaltic soil was grazed and cultivated, watered from two perpetual springs. Mooroolbark is a suburb in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. ...

In 1921 George Chirnside sold Werribee Park, moving the family's stud herds and the contents of Werribee Mansion to Mooroolbark Park. After George Chirnside's death in 1941, permission to sell the estate was given in 1950 and finalised some years later. Subdivision was approved by the then Shire of Lillydale in 1956 with the residential area, centred on the two storey stone homestead, country club and golf course, named Chirnside Park in 1962 in honour of Thomas Chirnside, who founded the Chirnside empire in 1839.

Formally West Lilydale, the surrounding region became known as Chirnside Park in the 1970's. Nominally a suburb, Chirnside Park is a satellite community of Lilydale. Thus the services that cannot be met in the nearby shopping complex are found elsewhere. The residential area is set around the large 18-hole golf course, though its future is in doubt. Further residential development exists to the west and north.

In area, however, most of the 'suburb' still retains a rural flavour, extending well into the Yarra Valley to the north, with commercial wineries, orchards and livestock farming, as well as large area residential estates. The Jack Nicklaus designed Heritage Golf Course (and housing estate) also nestles in the northwest corner of the suburb directly on the Yarra River.
