The name Woody Point seems to have evolved of its own accord. It was certainly in use in the very early days of pioneer settlement and ‘Woody Point’ is marked on most of the old maps. It is actually marked on Hoddle’s map of 1824 but this notation was obviously added at a later date.
This area was heavily timbered at one time and it is said that Oxley named it because of the numerous trees.
