History

Willmot takes its name from Thomas Willmot (1851–1938) who was elected the first President of the Blacktown Shire Council. He was the Shire President in 1906-1910 and again in 1912–1913. The housing development built here in 1971 was to be called St Johns but since a suburb in Sydney was already called St Johns Park, Willmot was chosen.
