Incorporated in 1859, Randwick is the oldest municipality in New South Wales and was proclaimed a city in 1990, although it is also considered to be a suburb of Sydney. It's name is derived from the English village of 'Randwick' in Gloucestershire, England, and named by Simeon Pearce, the first Mayor of Randwick. The Randwick City enjoys 25 km of ocean coastline and bay side foreshores, as well as being only 6 km from Sydney CBD.
