==History==
Woollahra is an Aboriginal word meaning ''camp'' or ''meeting ground'' or ''a sitting down place''. It was adopted by Daniel Cooper (1821–1902), the first speaker of the legislative assembly of New South Wales, when he laid the foundations of Woollahra House in 1856. It was built on the site of the old Henrietta Villa (or Point Piper House). Cooper and his descendants were responsible for the establishment and progress of the suburb and its name was taken from the house.〔Book of Sydney Suburbs, Frances Pollon (Angus and Robertson) 1990, p.273〕
Woollahra was the home of John McGarvie Smith, a metallurgist and biochemist who produced the first preservable anthrax vaccine.
