The suburb takes its name from its railway station, which in turn was named after the fruit of the plant Persoonia media, known as “jibung” in the Dharuk language. The suburb was the location for a significant fossil discovery in 2013. The fossils were the remains of a rare 50-million-year-old crocodile like species and several other animals.
