A district of new homes that developed from the 1950s in the North Balwyn area, Greythorn is an old district name. Formerly called Whitethorn, reputedly because of the white hawthorn blossoms of the hedges that once lined the rustic road, the name may have been altered to avoid confusion with Whitehorse Road.
