History
The Aboriginal people, in this area, the Awabakal, were the first people of this land.[2]
A slaughterhouse was among the early industries of Booragul. Booragul Public School opened in 1955. Booragul High opened in 1958. Post World War 2, 72 houses in Ellesmere Street, Primrose Street, Farlow Street and Gainford Street were constructed for migrant accommodation. Some of these houses were later used as married quarter accommodation for the Australian Army and Royal Australian Air Force. This housing was sold off in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
