Bossley Park is named after John Brown Bossley, a chemist and early landowner who purchased property in the area during the 19th century. His name became associated with the district as settlement expanded.

For much of its early history, the area consisted of farmland, orchards, and open paddocks. Families engaged in small‑scale agriculture, reflecting the rural character of Western Sydney before large‑scale suburban development.

After the Second World War, the region saw gradual population growth as migrants settled across Fairfield. The area remained semi‑rural but began to develop community institutions and small residential pockets.

Major suburban expansion occurred from the 1970s through the 1990s, transforming Bossley Park into a modern residential suburb. New housing estates, schools, and shopping areas were built to support the growing population.
