	{{~~Australia~~}}		{{H2\|History}}
			The region that now comprises [[Canterbury-Bankstown]] has a history stretching back to the Aboriginal people of the area, including the Darug and Dharawal nations, who inhabited the land for thousands of years prior to European settlement. The first European settlers arrived in the early 19th century, and the area was initially part of the larger [[Canterbury]] and [[Bankstown]] districts. Over time, these areas merged to form the modern [[Canterbury-Bankstown]] Local Government Area in 1946. The region has undergone significant urban development, particularly in the latter half of the 20th century, driven by post-war immigration and the expansion of Sydney's suburbs.
