HistoryThe area's Aboriginal name is 'Mookaboola' or 'Moocooboola', which means meeting of waters. Hunters Hill was named after John Hunter, the second Governor of New South Wales, who was in office between 1795 and 1800. The area that is now Hunters Hill was settled in 1835. One of the earliest settlers was Mary Reibey, the first female retailer in Sydney.
