Cabarita on the Parramatta River - first discovered by Captain John Hunter in February 1788

Cabarita Point was first discovered by Europeans when Captain John Hunter as he travelled up the Parramatta River in February 1788. In 1795, part of the suburb was granted to David Anderson, a soldier in the NSW Corps. An area of Cabarita Point was reserved for public recreation in 1856.
In the past, the suburb was home to heavy industry and swampland. Housing developments replaced factories and it now a residential area, with the Bushells Factory the last remaining sign of its industrial past. The swamps were reclaimed to create golf courses. Until 1948, an electric tramway ran down Cabarita Road to connect the suburb with Burwood, Enfield and Ashfield. Today, bus and ferry services are the means of public transport.
