History
Sans Souci, is a French term meaning ‘without care’, or in modern terms, ‘no worries’ and is mainly residential.
Development of the area dates from the 1830s when the first land grants were made, although growth was slow until the 1850s and 1860s.
A steam tram operated between Sans Souci and Kogarah in the 1890s which allowed people to enjoy bathing, boating and fishing. In 1937, a silent electric trolley bus was introduced, until 1959 that ran from Rockdale to Kogarah, Sans Souci and Dolls Point.
