History

The Wologorong area was first inhabited by the Gundungurra people^[4] and by the mid 1840s the NSW colonial government had granted numerous land grants in the area, beginning white settlement.

Wologorong homestead was the centre of a major pastoral property that was established in the 19th century.^[5] The socialite Sheila Chisholm, who was a friend of George VI and Edward VIII was born and brought up there.^[6]
