Unusually for a suburban seat, the district of Chatsworth is not named after a suburb within its boundaries but is instead named after Chatsworth Road.[2] This is despite the fact Chatsworth Road does not fall within the present district of Chatsworth; it runs through the neighbouring district of Greenslopes.[3]
