The whole area between Parramatta and Lane Cove Rivers was originally, known by its Aboriginal name Wallumatta. The aboriginal name survives in a local park, the Wallumatta Nature Reserve, located at the corner of Twin and Cressy roads, North Ryde.
European settlement
Marsfield is derived from Field of Mars, which was the original name of the area in the early days of British colonisation of Australia.

The area was later part of the suburb of North Ryde. Field of Mars was also the name for the parish proclaimed in 1835.
Many of the streets in Marsfield and bordering suburb Macquarie Park are named after famous (Commonwealth) conflicts in time. Such examples include Crimea, Culloden, Waterloo, Herring, Taranto, Torrington, Balaclava, Agincourt and Khartoum.
