Before the construction of the Gippsland railway line, Narre Warren North was actually the location of the Narre Warren township. The construction of Narre Warren railway station, however, moved the township 2 km to the south, as happened with Upper Beaconsfield, Clyde North and many other townships. Reflecting this, Narre Warren Post Office opened on 21 January 1869 and in 1900 was renamed Narre Warren North, and Narre Warren Railway Station office was renamed Narre Warren. The last few years has seen massive growth in housing in the South East Corridor with new housing estates moving northwards from Narre Warren. The realignment of Hallam - Belgrave Road in the late 1970s bypassed the township and so it has retained a country atmosphere. However, despite the bypassing of the town, in recent years extensive subdivision has taken place throughout the grazing lands. This has increased the number houses nearly a hundredfold. The town has an IGA store, a Plaza, a Primary School and 6 tennis Courts. Narre Warren North also have a Girl Guide group which caters for girls from 5-15 and a Scout group called 1st Narre Warren North troop on land and in a hall donated to the developing group by a local resident. There are various religious services with several Christian churches and the Yun Yang Temple off of Reservoir Road. Small areas of the town were damaged during the Black Saturday bush fires which burnt along the Troups creek towards Narre Warren East and Harkaway.
