Belconnen is the name associated with the locality since the days of the early settlers. The name has been taken from a land grant that was made in 1837 to the explorer Captain Charles Sturt in the area.
The naming of streets in the suburb is based on Lord Mayors and Mayors throughout Australia during that time period.
