Pennant Hills, Administrative division in Northern Sydney, Australia.

Pennant Hills spans across elevated terrain at 167 meters above sea level, located 18 kilometers northwest of Sydney's central business district.

The area's first European exploration occurred in April 1788 under Governor Arthur Phillip, leading to permanent settlements in the 1840s with railway development.

The suburb maintains two public schools, two Catholic institutions, and multiple sporting organizations, forming an educational and recreational foundation for residents.

The commercial center contains numerous shops near the railway line, with Pennant Hills Marketplace serving as the main retail hub along Hillcrest Road.

In 1912, Pennant Hills became the location of Australia's first federal Wireless Telegraphy Station, marking a milestone in national communications history.
