History
The town's name is derived from an Indigenous Australian word for 'a place of swamps and lagoons'.In 1806, Walter Davidson named his land grant in this district "Manangle". This property was later incorporated into the larger Macarthur Estate and the village grew to service the operations of Camden Park Estate.The opening of the railway in 1863 enabled overnight milk deliveries to the Sydney Market.
In connection with the construction of Sydney Harbour Bridge, a tramway was constructed between the railway station and a sand-mining area on the banks of the Nepean River. However, this tramway is not currently in service.
