Summary

Drummoyne - Concord History Set
Drummoyne: A Western Suburb's History from 1794
Concord: A Centenary History
These publications commemorate the centenary of local government in the district and outline the history since settlement to 1982. They contain a number of useful photographs and maps of the area.
Local and regional histories often include the names of community leaders such as business people, local government officers and elected members.
They name:
• Early settlers in the district
• Mayors, Aldermen and Town Clerks
Local and regional histories provide an insight into the past circumstances and environment of small communities. They give the historian an understanding of how people of the time lived their day-to-day lives. They are of particular interest to family historians who may have ancestors living in the community, as while they may find no mention of their families, they will certainly come across issues and events that they certainly experienced.
