The Johnston family of Oakbank founded Woodside in the 1850s, primarily to improve their brewery business. The town was a useful traffic hub linking Oakbank, Lobethal and Charleston.
It is home to the Woodside Barracks (16th Air Defence Regiment), the Woodside Cheese Wrights, Melbas Chocolate Factory, a great bakery with divine homemade gelati and five minutes from the boutique winery Bird in Hand.
