Chatswood

Chatswood is a central district located in the Lower North Shore of Sydney, ten kilometres from the CBD. It serves as the administrative centre of the City of Willoughby local government area, which has a vibrant commercial scene and known for its growing population.

The district’s name was inspired by Charlotte Harnett, who was wife to the then Mayor of Willoughby.

Charlotte was fondly referred to as Chattie, and the area became known as Chattie’s Wood, which was eventually shortened to just Chatswood. In the years that followed, the district’s population grew with the construction of the North Shore Railway Line towards the end of the 19th century.
