Market at a glance
Pottsville is in Tweed Shire in the Northern Rivers region. Wikipedia says Bill Potts owned the first house in the town, and the place was first named Potts Point, before the name was changed to avoid confusion with the Sydney suburb of the same name. The 2021 census recorded 7,209 residents, up 10.1 percent on the previous census. Estates in the area include Pottsville Waters, Koala Beach, Seabreeze and Black Rocks, and the town has two primary schools, Pottsville Beach Public School and St Ambrose Primary School. Its postcode is 2489, and the Ngandowal and Minyungbal-speaking peoples of the Bundjalung nation are recognised as the traditional custodians of the Tweed region, including Pottsville.
Good to know before you go
The market is held at Philip Street Reserve, which the organisers describe as located in beautiful Pottsville Beach. Only the first and third Sundays count, so check the calendar before you set out. If a fifth Sunday falls in a month, there is no market that day. The market's Facebook page is the quickest place to confirm a date.
Pottsville started life as Potts Point, after Bill Potts, who owned its first house, and was renamed to avoid confusion with the Sydney suburb.
