History
Originally part of the Gerringong Ward of the Municipality of Kiama. In 1948 it was merged with surrounding municipalities to form the Shoalhaven Shire Council. Some documents record the name as Broughton Vale. It is likely that the area was named after an Aboriginal guide named after the Bishop of Australia W.G. Broughton, by local pastoralist Alexander Berry.
