History
Aboriginal Culture The area now known as Ermington was associated with the Wallumettagal/Wallumedegal people[2][3].

European Settlement Ermington was originally in the Field of Mars region. Governor Arthur Phillip granted land on the northern bank of the Parramatta River to eight Royal Marines on 3 January 1792 and named it after the Roman Field of Mars probably because of the military link. One of these Marines, Alexander McDonald, built his house within present day Ermington. The house is still standing near the Parramatta River, at 15-17 Honor Street. Field of Mars Reserve is a remnant of bushland between the Lane Cove and Parramatta Rivers. ...

Ermington took its name from 'Ermington House', a mansion belonging to the Police Magistrate to Parramatta, Major Edmund Lockyer[6][7][8]. The house was completed in 1828 and stood near the current Ryde-Parramatta Golf Course. Locker increased his land holdings and by 1830 was grazing 1280 sheep and over 300 head of cattle on more than 1900 hectares. Lockyer died in 1860. Lockyer's second wife, Sarah Morris, was born in Ermington, Devon, England. His third child by this marriage, born in England, was named Sarah Ermington Lockyer.

Landmarks
Army Barracks Timor Barracks is just inside the northern boundary of Ermington, on the corner of Kissing Point Road and Stewart Street[11][12]. It is currently home to the 8th Command Support Regiment[13]. Previously it was home to the Eastern Region Command Signals Regiment[13]. The barracks used to be overlooked by a very tall antenna tower, providing communications for the army. The tower was pulled down some years ago. Today there is a mobile phone tower not too far from the site of the original army tower.
The barracks opened on 17 February 1968, on the former site of the 2CH radio station transmitter. Today the 2CH transmitter is located across the Parramatta river from Ermington, at Homebush Bay. The area surrounding the transmitter was a market garden owned by Yates. A nearby street in Dundas, is called Yates Avenue. Today the old market garden is residential housing, built in the 1960s. 2ch home page. ...

Navy Stores The Australian Navy used to have a storage depot on the northern bank of the Parramatta River, between Silverwater Road and Spurway Street. This area was covered with arch hangars made of corrugated iron. Presumably it was associated with the Navy munitions storage depot on the opposite bank of the river. The last of these Navy stores was burnt down in a fire that was deliberately started. Today the old Ermington Navy depot has been demolished and as of 2006 is a building site for waterfront apartments. [1] The Royal Australian Navy (RAN) is the naval branch of the Australian Defence Force. ...

The Lottie Stewart Hospital Next to the Timor Barracks is the Lottie Stewart Hospital[14]. The hospital has a history of palliative care and is operated by the Wesley Mission[15]. It was opened in 1948[15]. The Lottie Stewart Fete is an annual fixture in Ermington's calendar. Palliative care (from Latin palliare, to cloak) is any form of medical care or treatment that concentrates on reducing the severity of disease symptoms, rather than providing a cure. ...
Subiaco Creek Ermington is the watershed of the Subiaco Creek. The Creeks starts as runoff from the area containing Timor Barracks and Lottie Stewart Hospital. It enters a culvert and runs underneath Fremont Avenue at the bottom of the valley near house number 23. It then flows under an easement into Cowells Lane Reserve. "The Creek" (as it is called by locals) used to be mostly above ground, but as at 2006 has been mostly buried in a pipe. It surfaces again near the intersection of Stevens Street and Spurway Street.
Teddle Tree Teddle Tree is a Eucalyptus Tree situated between the Ermington Basketball Courts and Gregg St in George Kendall Reserve. It stands 10 m exactly and has become popular with the locals; In early 1999, an ensemble of instrumentalists started having monthly jam sessions underneath Teddle Tree which have since become famous amongst Ermington residence. These jam sessions had been the idea of James Ted (a local multi-instrumentalist), in which he enlisted help from friends and family to participate. The sessions came to an end in mid 2000 after Ted left Ermington to pursue a music career outside of Ermington. The Tree is now commonly referred after James Ted's nickname “Teddle.”
