Etymology
Warranwood is adjacent to Warrandyte South and Ringwood North; its name is a conjunction of the two words. In 1946,<ref>Template:Cite news</ref> the South Warrandyte Progress Association invited suggestions for a name, as at the time there was no definite name for the locality. At one time, it had been referred to as "Croydon Heights". The choice of "Warranwood" from part-time resident Mrs. J. Harrison of Brysons Road was accepted by postal authorities and the Shire of Lillydale.<ref name=mcgivern>Template:Cite book</ref>
