In 1802 Scottish and English free settlers arriving on the Coromandel settled on grants of land along the Hawkesbury River in an area which became known as Portland Head.
Church services were soon taking place on land known as Ebenezer Mount as well as in the homes of the settlers. In 1808 the settlers set themselves a task of building a church and school and by the following year land had been donated and a church built. This became the first Presbyterian Church in Australia and was known as Ebenezer Chapel (later Ebenezer Church).
The name of Ebenezer is taken from the bible (1 Samuel: Chapter 7 Verse 12) and means ‘The Lord has helped us all the way’ or ‘Stone of Help’.
By the 1880s Ebenezer included the areas around Portland Head, Lilburndale, Tizzana, Sackville, Sackville Reach, Sackville Ridge, Lower Wilberforce as well as Caddai (Cattai), Weeny Maroota and Maroota on the western side of the Hawkesbury River.
