_______________________________________
Kambah is the northernmost suburb in Tuggeranong. It is located just south of Mount Taylor. The suburb name was gazetted on 22 March 1973 and it was first settled in 1974 and consists predominantly of detached single storey suburban houses. It was the first suburb in the satellite city of Tuggeranong.
Kambah was not designed according to the 'neighbourhood' philosophy guiding the design of other Canberra suburbs. It is the largest suburb in the city with an area of 1130 ha. Originally it was intended to be four separate suburbs, but only one name was available.
Kambah was named after the Kambah farm originally in this area. The name Kambah derives from Ngambri, the name of the clan that originally lived in the area before European occupation.
