Edgeworth, New South Wales
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Edgeworth is a suburb located on the outer suburbs of Lake Macquarie. Edgeworth is very central to other suburbs and allows easy access to the Link Road, which joins many more suburbs and connects to the freeway to Sydney. Main features of Edgeworth include the Community Hall, pub and shopping centre.
Edgeworth was originally known as Cocked Hat Creek until 1885 where it was referred to as Young Wallsend. In December 1960 Young Wallsend adopted its present name in honour of the geologist Sir Tannatt William Edgeworth David who, arriving in NSW in 1882, pioneered geological surveying of the coal seams in the Hunter Valley.
