History
Crescent Head was officially declared a village in 1894, however, the first mention of Crescent Head had appeared in 1833 from the NSW Calendar and General Post Office Directory.
Excerpt from the General Post Office Directory 1833: “From Port Macquarie northerly there is a beaten track and the country may present some obstructions to the formation of a road; travelling is not, however, difficult; the tracks follow the coast which is a succession of sandy beaches extending from Port Macquarie to Point Plomer, thence to Crescent Head and then to Trial Bay…”
In the 1960s, Crescent Head became a well known destination for long board surfers as the Malibu surfboard rose to prominence in Australia. (wikipedia)
