History
The area was known as Bongin Bongin by Aborigines. The first land grants in the district of Pittwater were not made until 23 April 1813. The land that now comprises Mona Vale was granted to Robert Campbell (1769-1846), and was surveyed in May 1814, and was originally part of 700 acres that extended from Mona Vale to the end of Newport beach. Mona Vale in Scotland may have inspired Campbell’s choice of name for the area. Dr. William Bryan was the first mayor of Mona Vale. In 2005, Mona Vale became the administrative centre of Pittwater Council after the council chambers moved from Warriewood. Pittwater Council has since been amalgamated with Warringah and Manly to form the Northern Beaches council. (wikipedia)
