Wisemans Ferry Village is named after Solomon Wiseman who settled there after receiving a Land Grand from Govenor Macquarie in 1817. He was responsible for the first ferry service in 1827 to serve the farmers of the area & also provide provisions for the convicts building "The Great North Road". The township & the area flourished for many years as a major farming area for the new settlement, but the many floods took their toll on the area and the population dwindled around the 1850's. Now a favourite tourist spot, the area boasts many recreational facilities & a rich colonial & convict heritage. The beautiful Dharug and Yengo National Parks border the rivers and are a wonderful site for enjoying the natural beauty of the area. |
