History

Woy Woy was originally known as Webb’s Flat, after the first European settler to arrive in the Brisbane Water region in 1823. The name Woy Woy comes from an indigenous term which means ‘big lagoon’ or ‘much water.

This small coastal settlement underwent rapid residential development in the 1960’s following the electrification of the Main Northern rail line. This led to Woy Woy becoming a popular home for commuters who can reach Sydney’s central business district by rail in just over an hour.
