In December 1939, after the outbreak of WW2, West Prussia Road was changed to Wantirna Road.

The EastLink tollway runs through Wantirna with interchanges at Boronia Road and Burwood Highway.

Its name is derived from the local aboriginal population's meaning for, "a gurgling stream".

It was first settled in 1842 when Mrs. Madeline Scott established her "Bushy Park" cattle run on the banks of the Dandenong Creek. During the 1870’s other pioneers opened up the area to settlement and in 1913 a Post Office was established.
