E is for Epping, once the fruit bowl of the Sydney, now part of City of Parramatta!

Aboriginal people from the Wallumedegal group, whose lands stretch along the Parramatta and Lane Cove rivers, were living in the region of Epping when the first Europeans arrived.

Epping has a long history of vegetable and fruit growing. In the 1800s, several families established citrus orchards in the area. By the early 1900s there was a booming fruit market in Epping and nearby Pennant Hills.

Cartons of fresh produce including apples, oranges and lemons, would be carted to Ermington wharf on the Parramatta River and sent by boat to the Sydney markets.

The Library holds a large collection of photographs documenting the history of Epping, from historic houses to street corners and farmers markets.
