History

Originally known as Charcoal Gully, the area saw the establishment of an Anglican school in 1857. This was replaced in 1873 by a State school named Sandhurst East, which was renamed Quarry Hill in 1908.

The locality is characterized by hilly terrain with limited evidence of mining or quarrying activity. Notable features include The Eyrie (1874) at 18 Reginald Street, which is listed on the Victorian Heritage Register, as well as the Bendigo Cemetery, established in 1858, which also holds heritage status, including its chapel and funerary oven.

Another significant property is Edelweiss on Hamlet Street, built in 1890 for Sir John Quick, a constitutional lawyer and Bendigo parliamentarian. Quick later contributed to local institutions such as the Bendigo Art Gallery and Mechanics' Institute and played a role in founding the Quarry Hill Golf Club.
