The name “Neutral Bay” originates from the time of the early colonial period of Australia, where different bays of Sydney harbour were zoned for different incoming vessels. This bay was where all foreign vessels would dock, hence the name neutral. Neutral Bay was far enough away from Sydney Cove to discourage convicts from escaping on these vessels and to keep possible enemy ships at a distance from the main settlement.

In the early 20th Century Neutral Bay and Cremorne had both the Brent Knowle and the Cobblers which are located in Kurraba Point and influenced the style of architecture that was built around the area at that time.
