History of Hunters Hill

Huntes Hill was originally home to the colony's first bushrangers.Later, Hunters Hill was a French Village.

Hunters Hill was probably named after Captain John Hunter who came here with the First Fleet in 1788.

One of Hunters Hill's first residents was Mary Reiby, transported for stealing a horse, who arrived in the colony in chains in 1792 at the age of 15. Reiby; whose likeness appears on the Australian $20 note, settled in Hunters Hill in the 1830s in a home she shuttered with sheet iron for protection from bushrangers. In widowhood she amassed a fortune from commercial shipping and land interests.

The French wine and spirit merchant Didier Joubert purchased her farm in 1847 and built a large number of stylish houses with his brother Jules and son Numa. The villas built by the Jouberts and the Frenchman Count Gabriel de Milhau, and Leonard Bordier were the foundation for what became known as the French Village. A house was built in 1855 for the French Consul called 'Passy', named after a precinct in Paris. Members of the Marist order established a base to serve their Pacific missions and built St Joseph's College for Boys in 1882.

Charles Jeanneret, born in Sydney in 1834 and brought up on Flinders Island, began house building in Hunters Hill in 1858. He also ran the ferry service on the Parramatta River.

The houses built by the early pioneers are among the 434 items of heritage significance painstakingly preserved in the Hunters Hill conservation areas.
