The neighborhood is named after Helsfyr gård, which name is possibly originating from Low Saxon helschvûr, "Hell-Fire".[1] Helsfyr was sparsely populated until the 1950s, and was further developed in the 1980s.[2]

Helsfyr station on the Oslo Metro first opened in 1966. A combined metro/bus terminal opened in 1993, making Helsfyr an important public transportation interchange in Oslo's East End.[2]
