Description From Owner:
  • Whitney Pier: First called International Pier for the shipping docks of Dominion Steel and Coal Co., but the name changed when the post office opened in 1895. Henry M. Whitney, an American, was founder and first president of the company, formed in 1893.
  • Muggah Creek: The place was named for John Muggah, a native of Banffshire, Scotland who was employed as a military engineer at Sydney. He married a Miss Meloney, daughter of Sydney's first settler, John Meloney.
