AuthorJohn MorcombeDateSeptember 2020DescriptionDid you know that up until 1910, Newport Beach was privately owned by the Farrell family who began purchasing land in the area in the 1820s? The beach was then known as Farrell's Beach.
When John Farrell III began selling the land it became very important to locals and to State Government and Warringah Council that the beach front land be resumed for public use.
Newport Beach was officially opened to the public on 8 April 1911.SubjectsNewport BeachLand ResumptionsKeywordsJohn Farrell
