History

Carlingford received its current name in 1886 after a vote by residents. The name was suggested by Frederick Cox after he heard one of his employees describe similarities between Mobbs Hill and the town of Carlingford, County Louth, located in the east of Ireland. As Sydney rapidly expanded, following World War II, Carlingford underwent urbanisation from the orange-growing agricultural area it once was.
