While Lake Cathie is now well-established, it was back in 1945 when the first residents moved to the village.
Married couple Sally and Bob Pead were the first residents to move to the area and were responsible for giving the village its name.
Sally gave the name ‘Cati’ to the area, because that to her was how the village was known.
It was reported in the Port News in 1975 that Cati remained nothing more than an isolated fishing spot until 1945 when Sally and her husband
Robert James (Bob) Pead settled there.
The couple farmed 60 acres of land on the southern side of the lake.
Bob soon realised the potential of the area, sold some of the front blocks on the foreshore and in next to no time a small village formed.
Many visitors to Lake Cathie pronounce the name of the town correctly. It is pronounced Cat-eye not Cathy.
