Similar in history to many of the towns on the NSW South Coast, Balgownie was first settled in the 19th century and was a thriving centre of logging, mining and farming. With the arrival of the economic and population grown of the 20th century, Balgownie has gone from a small country hamlet to a large residential suburb. As a result many of the open spaces and paddocks that previously greened the area are now residential developments. With the economic and population growth of the 20th century Balgownie was overtaken by the expanding urban sprawl and transformed from a small country 
hamlet to a residential suburb. There is great economic diversity in Balgownie with properties ranging from multi-million dollar mansions on the escarpment to public housing estates in the east. Also of interest is that Balgownie is home to Australia’s older soccer club, the Balgownie Rangers, founded in 1883.
