Woolloomooloo was named after the first homestead that was established there, spellt Wolloomooloo House, owned by John Palmer. There is a suggestioin that the name could have been derived from wallamullah, meaning "place of plenty", or wallabahmullah, meaning "young black kangaroo". John Palmer received the land grant in 1793 allowing him to run cattle.
Today Woolloomooloo is mainly residential except for the harbourside, which has undergone urban renewal, and now features, among others, a boutique hotel, restaurants, bars, and upscale residences.
