Glenorie is located approximately 40 kilometres northwest of the Sydney CBD in the Shire of Baulkham Hills.
Glenorie was originally known as North Dural. In April 1894 local residents offered the Colony's Postmaster General two names: Hazeldene and Glenorie. The name Glenorie was accepted because it had the support of the local progress association. Glenorie was named after a town in Scotland.
The town of Glenorie has a rural flavour though it is close enough to the major suburbs of Castle Hill and Dural to offer all the necessary services. Activities for visitors include: bushwalking, scenic drives, parklands and tennis.
Towns surrounding Glenorie include: Maraylya and Middle Dural.
