In prehistory, the area was inhabited by the Turrbal Aboriginal clan. Corroborees were held at Sedgeley Park estate.

The name Alderley derives from Alderley Edge in Cheshire, England.[4] Alderley is an older suburb, having had a post office since 1878 and a railway station since 1899.

On Saturday 19 April 1890 auctioneers G. T. Bell offered 296 residential lots (mostly 16 perches) in Alderley Park Estate on Hall Street, Alderley Street and Wakefield Street with South Pine Road to the west. The estate was diagonally opposite the Alderley Arms Hotel. At the time of sale, the Ferny Grove railway line had not yet been built however the proposed railway route line is marked on the land sale advertisement. Hall Street now terminates at the Alderley railway station instead of continuing through to South Pine Road as it was in 1890.[5][6] At the auction, only 51 of the 296 lots were sold for an average price of £28/8/8 for a total of £1450.[7]

On Saturday 29 October 1921 auctioneers Blocksidge & Ferguson offered 232 residential allotments of 18 and 22 perches in the Smyth's Hill Estate bounded by Longsight Street to the north, Raymont Road to the south, Longsight Street to the west and Mornington Street to the east.[10][11] (Mornington Street does not exist in this far south due to the subsequent development of Alderley Grove Park.)[12]

On Saturday 17 June 1922 auctioneers Cameron Bros offered 53 residential sites of mostly 16 perches in Hall Street, Alderley Avenue and Wakefield Streets.[13][14]

On Saturday 2 October 1937 auctioneers Isles, Love & Co offered 26 residential sites ranging from 24 to 31 perches in Section 2 of the Manwaring Estate on Goskar Avenue and Banks Road.[15][16]
