History of Mosman

Mosman was originally inhabited by the Borogegal Aboriginal people. The first Europeans to settle in the area arrived in the 1830s and established farms and boatyards. In the 1870s, a large development known as Mosman Bay Estate brought the first residents to the area. With its gorgeous foreshore, pretty beaches and proximity to the city, Mosman has grown to one of Sydney’s most exclusive suburbs.
