History
Elanora Heights is derived from an Aboriginal word meaning “home by the sea” or “home by the water” and the word Heights meaning “Up high”. Elanora Heights takes its name from the geographical location, on the hill near the lagoon.
The suburb came into existence as the Elanora Heights Estate in 1929. Earlier settlements had taken the form of an attempted coal mining camp. Members of Royal Sydney Golf Club purchased a large parcel of land about 1920 which laid the basis for Elanora Country Club which opened in 1922. The name was abbreviated to Elanora in the late 20th century, however the old name has continued to be used. (wikipedia)
