Tempe was named after the mansion on the southern banks of the Cooks River in the area that is now known as Wolli Creek. Alexander Brodie Spark, an immigrant from Elgin, Scotland, built Tempe House in 1836. Frederick Wright Unwins, who gave his name to Unwins Bridge Road, was a clever man in the legal profession in Sydney’s early days. Tempe was once home to a landfill site known colloquially as 'Tempe Tip', which caught fire in 1988.
