The road was dedicated in 1849[1], some slivers of land having to be given up from the Brisco estate at both ends of the road to give sufficient width for the carriageway. When Bohemia Road was widened in 1924, the last buildings associated with Bohemia Farm were demolished and the pond filled.[2]
This road was renumbered during 1902. following the absorption of Shornden Terrace and a number of other similar terraces into the road[3].
