History
Narraweena is an Aboriginal name meaning a quiet place in the hills. The suburb developed after World War II, when the land was subdivided, Narraweena Post Office opening on 1 April 1953. Italian people from Pazzano since the 1980s have organised an annual Santo Salvatore's fiest, with a statue very similar to the original that is taken from the Catholic church of Narraweena around the suburb and back. It is also home to a notable community of settlers from Gizzeria, Calabria and their descendants.
