The tradition of naming houses dates back many centuries in Britain and throughout Europe. In Australia, it is as old as white settlement, with the early settlers bringing with them a piece of their background in the form of a house name. It often revealed something of the person's country or town of origin, their own language and sometimes their aspirations. House names were common during a time when there was no street numbering system in place. It was a means of identifying a house for the benefit of visitors, home delivery services and the postman.
