The area is named after a battery of guns put on the point in 1818. The guns were eventually removed for fear the residential homes would come under fire in the event of an invasion.

If you venture deep within Battery Point, you may stumble upon Nanny Goat Lane, a well-known steep laneway with superb views of the suburbs at the top and a whimsical sign to match its odd name.
