The traditional custodians of the Harwood area are the Yaegl people.[2]
The first Europeans settled the area around the 1830s due to the abundance of cedar. Sugar cane production began in the 1850s, with the Harwood Mill opening in 1874.[3]
Roadsedit
The Pacific Highway cuts through the middle of the village. Prior to the construction of the Harwood Bridge in 1966, the Harwood Ferry transported vehicles along the highway across the Clarence River. It was the last ferry on the highway. In 2019, a new bridge superseded the old one to carry the highway. The old bridge is still used for local traffic.
Amenitiesedit
Harwood Island Public School is the local primary school. For high school, students have to travel to Maclean.
The village also has a general store, antique store, pub (with children's playground and multiple Tesla charging stations), hall, cricket oval, and public boat ramp.
