Byron Bay History
Thousands of years before the Europeans settled in Byron Bay back in 1770, the small town was the home of Aboriginal people. When Captain James Cook docked in 1770, he named the place after his circumnavigator who also happened to be the grandson of the famous poet, Lord Byron. A few years later, the Europeans brought life to the cedar industry in the country, as well as the timber industry. It also became the hub of various industrial production companies, though these brought several negative effects and had to be closed down. In the late 1800s, a railway was constructed, and this signalled the beginning of the continuous development of the small, humble bay-side town, especially when surfers discovered the fantastic surf breaks offered by the Byron Bay waves.
