A relatively small area Port Hacking was declared a suburb in 1973 and although this description was reviewed in more recent years it has retained this status. Port Hacking was named after the waterway and includes the most southern end of Port Hacking Road as a major access road. Most of the area was once part of the estate of local pioneer Thomas Holt who acquired land in the 1860s which later became what is now known as Sutherland Shire. Holt later leased most of his estate to the Holt Sutherland Estate Land Company who set about creating estates for residential settlement. Port Hacking Road was surveyed in 1865 and it became a coaching route for access to the waterway of Port Hacking and the national park.
The area was a popular location for early weekenders for wealthy Sydney families and homes such as Moombara were originally built for this reason. Richardson and Wench on behalf of the Holt Sutherland Estate released Turriell Point Estate Port Hacking in 1901 for further residential settlement. A post office was established from the late 1880s.
Shiprock Marine Reserve is located at the end of Shiprock Road so named because of the impressive sandstone formation shaped like a ship.
Shiprock Reserve, 'Sinclair Family Walkway' is dedicated to the late Henry 'Harry' Sinclair (1912-1994) & Jeannie Louise 'Louie' Sinclair (1906-2003). Harry & Louie immigrated from Scotland in 1921 & 1930 respectively & fell in love with the coastal beauty of the Hacking River, residing at No.4 Shiprock Rd, for more than 40 years. In 2007, the Sinclair Family made the exceptionally generous bequest of the waterfront portion of their property & a sum of money to assist with the construction of the staircase. This wonderful gift has allowed for the extension of the reserve for all to enjoy.
