Place names

Gwynneville
Parish of Wollongong County of Camden
Gwynneville was originally part of a grant to James S Spearing called "Paulsgrove" or "Mount Keira Estate". The Mount Keira Estate extended westward from where the railway line is now situated. Gwynneville is one of the older subdivisions in the Wollongong Municipality. It is thought to be named after John Gwynne, a farmer in the area. Allotments from the Gwynneville Estate were advertised for sale in the Illawarra Mercury on 12 November 1889.
