Pagewood was originally planned as a garden suburb, similar to neighbouring Daceyville. However, it was developed to provide housing after World War I when there was a shortage of land. The new suburb began developing in 1919 as an estate called Monash Gardens. The suburb was named Pagewood in 1929 to honour Alderman F.J. Page of Botany Council.

In 1960, the council considered changing the suburb name to East Botany. Residents battled to retain the name, particularly since Botany was becoming an industrial area, while Pagewood retained its identity as a mainly residential area.

Westfield Eastgardens shopping centre in Wentworth Avenue was built in the southern part of the suburb on the former site of the General Motors Holden car manufacturing plant and opened in 1987. Eastgardens, which covers the area around the shopping centre was officially declared a separate suburb in 1999.
