Model Farms and a wartime name
Winston Hills was named during World War II after British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, a name preferred to Churchill Hills. Before that, the area was called Model Farms. A locality in the suburb and Model Farms High School still carry that name. Winston Hills moved from the City of Blacktown to the City of Parramatta in 1972. Today it is split between the City of Parramatta and The Hills Shire. Winston Hills Mall, with a food court and over 75 specialty shops, is also where you can board the 706 bus to Blacktown.
