The Ballajura area was first settled in 1905, when Ernest Maltby Kerruish, an immigrant from the Isle of Man, purchased land for a farm at the present site, which at the time was located in Caversham. He named it Ballajora, after a farm at Maughold on the Isle of Man. John Creer and Arthur Eaton, who also emigrated with Kerruish from the Isle of Man, joined him in clearing the land to build a house and begin farming the land.
In the 2001 Census of Population and Housing by the Australian Bureau of Statistics, the population of the Ballajura postcode area was 19,784, in an area of 9 square kilometers.
