HISTORY - DARLINGHURST’S RESIDENTS and REPUTATION:
In the 1840’s and 1850’s, Darlinghurst attracted a vast mix of classes and building types. The wealthy and poor, criminal and respectable, landlord and tenant, families and singles contributed to it’s appeal, and later, its chequered reputation. Attracting itinerant workers, single men and poorer families, looking for work on the wharves or in the city.
It was not until the 1920s that the reputation of Darlinghurst grew more ominous than that of a regular inner-city neighbourhood. Although the area had experienced the influence of gangs of criminals in the later 1890s through 'the Pushes', during the 1920s a growing criminal element, involved in the sex industry, sly grogging, illegal betting, and the drug trade, gave the place a new name in the tabloid press. Their use of straight razors to settle their differences set the new name: Razorhurst. From the period immediately after World War 1, through the 1920s and 1930s, Darlinghurst was better known for its gangs and criminal personalities than as a vibrant neighbourhood of families and workers.
