Huskisson railway station, near Liverpool, opened in 1880.

The land south of Moona Moona Creek—now Vincentia —was the site of the settlement of South Huskisson, founded in 1841 as a seaport and terminus of The Wool Road. South Huskisson lay on land originally owned by Edward Deas Thompson [17] and was a ‘private town’.
