Like the surrounding townships of the Blue Mountains, Hazelbrook was developed after the arrival of the railway line in the 1860’s, with the interest in rural retreat holidays developing strongly in the 1880’s. Hazelbrook was originally named after ‘Hazelbrook House’, the first property in Hazelbrook to be built in the 1870’s by Svonte Noles. The name Hazelbrook was adopted in 1894, when Hazelbrook Railway Station was opened opposite the home. Unfortunately, Hazelbrook House no longer exists, however Selwood House is a heritage-listed building in the nearby vicinity, and now houses a veterinary practice, Selwood Vet.
