[edit] History
Bardwell Valley was originally the name used to describe the land beside Bardwell Creek in the suburb of Bardwell Park. The suburb was formed in 1996 from parts of Arncliffe that bordered the valley and creek.
Bardwell Park was named after free settler Thomas Hill Bardwell who owned land in this area.
The City of Rockdale established an olive grove in Bardwell Valley, in recognition of the contribution made to the city by citizens who have their origins in Greece.
