Cedar Creek is an area within the local government area of Tweed Shire in the Northern Rivers region of New South Wales. Named after the Tweed River, the shire where Cedar Creek is found was discovered in 1823 by John Oxley, an explorer who once served as the Surveyor General of New South Wales. Oxley took shelter in an area near the river’s mouth, which is now known as Cook Island. By 1828, the first settlers in the area arrived. Most of them were cedar getters whose purpose was to harvest great red cedars to bring back to Europe. The Tweed region was very prosperous during the height of the cedar logging industry. On January 1947, the Municipality of Murwillumbah and the Shire of Tweed were merged to form the current Tweed Shire.
