Pyrmont was named before it was developed for its supposed similarity to Bad Pyrmont in Germany. The Aboriginal name for this area was Pirrama, which is the name of a road on the Pyrmont waterfront. Pyrmont was traditionally a working class industrial and port community, with a major sugar refinery which was operated by CSR Limited . Almost all industrial function is gone from the area, and much high-rise residential development has taken place (for example, Jackson's Landing ). The Star City Casino dominates the Darling Harbour waterfront of Pyrmont. The suburb is also home to some well-known companies, such as Nokia Australia, and the headquarters of the Ten and Seven commercial television networks. The Sydney Fish Market is also located within the area.
