Edmondson Park honours John Hurst Edmondson, a former local resident who trained at Ingleburn Army Camp and was awarded Australia's first Victoria Cross of World War II, posthumously. The NSW Geographical Names Board approved the name in November 1970. Much of the suburb covers the former army camp, used from 1939 until 1997, and part of it is kept as the Ingleburn Military Heritage Precinct.
