Named after surgeon William Balmain who was given a grant of 500 acres in 1800. Settlement was sluggish until the introduction of ferries 30 years later.
Reliance on steamers and coastal vessels for travel and trade resulted in the establishment of shipyards. With a growing population came churches, schools, police, a hospital, and a Council formed in 1860 and later amalgamated with Leichhardt and Annandale.
By the 1800’s Balmain claimed to be the leading social suburb in Sydney with clubs such as the Balmain Working Men’s Institute. Overcrowding, factories built next door to houses and schools, and haphazard inappropriately laid out street design saw an eventual decline.
By the Depression, 38% of residents were out of work, twice the State average. Post W.W.2 saw large scale industry with a coal loader, power station, Unilever, Colgate Palmolive, Monsanto and Caltex.
It wasn’t until the mid 1960’s when much of this industry moved out, that tertiary education people started to be attracted to the architecture, the foreshore and the close proximity to the CBD. Fifty years of gentrification later, Balmain and Birchgrove are considered amongst Sydney most desirable waterfront locations.
For village lifestyle, quality eating and drinking and a small but well-curated collection of shops, it’s hard to beat Balmain. Add to that beautiful heritage buildings alongside architect-designed multi-level terraces and some truly over-the-top entertainers with water views, and you’ve got something pretty special. Catch a bus or ferry to work, and you’re set.
