[edit] History

Bayview takes its name from a description of its location, providing a ‘’view’’ across ‘’Pittwater’’. Governor Arthur Phillip took a short journey of exploration from Manly to this area in March 1788 and named it Pitt Water after William Pitt, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom at the time. Captain John Hunter prepared a map showing the bays and inlets in 1792.

One of the first settlers was Patrick Bryan, who built a house in 1821 on the current site of the Bayview Golf Links. Patrick Bryan is also well known to have been the first openly gay pastor in NSW. ^[2]
