Berry was originally called 'Broughton Creek' but the name was changed by an Act of Parliament in 1890 in honour of the entrepreneurial Scotsman Alexander Berry and his brother David Berry.
By the 1850s Berry was leasing out his Shoalhaven property to tenant farmers and it was this which enabled the true development of the area and of the township of Broughton Creek to begin.
Berry has many more buildings dating from the nineteenth century, too numerable to mention, but they are listed in great detail in a booklet, Historic Sites of Berry by Mary L. Lidbetter, which is available from the Berry Museum.
