Davistown, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Davistown is a suburb located on the Central Coast of New South Wales, Australia, as part of the Gosford City Council local government area. It is named for the Davis family which settled in the area after migrating from Northern Irland. The sons of the family established a series of successful ship building firms in the second half of the 19th century and the areas name was taken from the nickname of 'Davistown'. The most successful of the shipwrights was Rock Davis, who was named for the rock of Gibraltar, as he was born aboard ship there whilst the family was migrating.
