History At A Glance
Did you know that the very first land grant made in the area
now known as The Entrance was in 1828 to Henry Holden?
 This piece of land stretched from the Tuggerah Lake to where
Toowoon Bay Road is located. Henry named this area "Toowoon"
which is the Aboriginal meaning for the mating call of the
Wonga pigeon.
In 1854 this land was purchased by the Taylor family, who
renamed it "Tuggerah Beach".
The word Tuggerah is Aboriginal for "bleak and cold" which
is a reflection of the winter months. However come the warmer
months of spring and summer, families flock to the foreshore
for sunshine, swimming and summertime fun.
