THE HISTORY  

OF  

KU-RING-GAI  

By  

W. CRESSWELL O’REILLY  

BA.  

Fis seldom that we find in our Municipalities and  

Shires citizen who has the interest, knowledge  

and ability to write the history of his community. In  

this, however, Ku-ring-gai is fortunate in that it has  

among its residents citizen who has the necessary  

qualifications and the urge to write such history.  

Ex-Alderman and Mayor, Mr. W. Cresswell O’Reilly  

has made some considerable research into the history  

and development of Ku-ring-gai and it is our privilege  

and pleasure to be able to publish from time to time,  

as space is available, this history as written by him.  

The author, Mr. W. Cresswell O’Reilly, who is  

Bajfchelor of Arts of the Sydney University, has been  

resident of Pymble for fifty-five years and over.  

Always keenly interested in local government, he served  

as Councillor of the Shire of Warringah and as an  

Aiderman of the Municipality of Ku-ring-gai where  

he was also Mayor, and. as such, he has had big  

influence in its development and the making of what  

is today acknowledged to be the Blue Ribbon Munici-  

pality of the Commonwealth.  

Mr. W. Cresswell O’Reilly served with the A.I.F. in  

World War I. After the war he was appointed as the  

Chief Commonwealth Film Censor.  

To Mr. W. Cresswell O’Reilly we gratefully acknow-  

ledge our indebtedness and extend to him our sincere  

thanks for the privilege of passing the story of Ku-  

ring-gai on to the ratepayers and residents of the  

municipality.
