Botany

Botany, a suburb of Sydney, New South Wales, Australia, is located on the northern shore of Botany Bay. According to a 2011 census, Botany has a population of 8,884 residents. It is governed by the Bayside Council local government area.

Surrounding suburbs include Mascot, Pagewood, Banksmeadow, Botany Bay, and Port Botany. It has a rich history and many cultural, sporting, and recreational opportunities for its residents to engage in.

Botany is also known to be a commercial area, as it supports Port Botany, one of Sydney’s most used Ports.

Origin

While it was not officially established until 1887, Botany has a rich history. Botany Bay, which Botany rests on, was the original landing sport of Captain James Cook in April of 1770.

Cook was the first non-Aboriginal to discover Australia. Cook is a famous explorer, and, according to History.com, he also was the first to discover the Hawaiian island.


Botnay was originally conceptualized as an agricultural district. However, with developments made by Simeon Lord, Botany bloomed into an industrial district. Currently, Botany is predominately a residential district.

This occurred after many of the industrial areas in Botany were redeveloped as terraces and apartments.

Botany is a major commercial area. This is due to the fact that Botany is near Port Botany, which is Sydney’s most important port. This makes Botany a huge developmental area for shipping and freighting.

It is also one of Sydney’s largest producers of chemicals. This is due to largely to the Orica plant in the area. Commercial areas in Botany support Botany’s economy.
