The suburb overlooks the city of Parramatta from above and views of the Sydney city skyline can be seen from the hill itself. In , the area shown above, became the suburb Constitution Hill. Before this, the land had been part of the suburb of Wentworthville. In the census, there were 3, residents in Constitution Hill. Constitution Hill, like the majority of suburbs within the City of Parramatta is situated on the traditional country of the Burramattagal clan of the Darug people.
The Burramattagal occupied the upper reaches of the Parramatta River for over 60, years prior to the establishment of colonial settlements in the area from In the early years of the British colony, the land around Constitution Hill was part of the Government Farm of Toongabbie and an early map of the farm shows the area designated for Maize crops.
Constitution Hill was also the assembly point of the Irish rebels that staged the Castle Hill convict rebellion of that became known as the Battle of Vinegar Hill.
Equally, any fires on the hill were visible from a great distance. It was a spot well chosen to create an intimidating presence and ensure the rebels had early warning of any large-scale troop movements overnight.
This spot, which provided the rebellion with a vantage spot, is now the Caloola Road Reserve. This location was saved from development in as it has significant historical, cultural and social value. Today Constitution Hill is an established residential area with the most significant development occurring in the post-war years.
