History
Northwood is named after Northwood House, designed by Edmund Blacket (1817-1883) and built by Mrs Jane Davy in 1878. The name was chosen because it is descriptive of its location, a woodland area in the north. Mrs Davy also built a ferry at her own expense, so that her family could travel to the city by ferry.For the early history of Northwood see John and Pam Ball, Exploring the early history of Northwood, Riverview, 2016.
