==History== |

Seaforth was named after [[Loch Seaforth]] and [[Seaforth Island]] in [[Scotland]]. The land in this area was once owned by Henry Halloran, who subdivided it in 1906.<ref name="subdivision">{{cite web |

|||
The Seaforth library was built in 1887 and protected by heritage listing by Manly Council in 1995. It stands outside the former Seaforth [[Tafe|TAFE]]. Seaforth celebrated its centenary on Sunday 12 November 2006 with a historical display in the town centre. Seaforth is also the birthplace of the local sporting legend Michael Whittaker, a well known state and national soccer and foozeball champion. But is overshadowed by his Soccer Goalkeeper Rorys O'Brien, who on numerous occasions cleans up mistakes made by Michael Whittaker. Also Rory owns Michael at foozeball, chess, halo 3, boggle which is pretty much everything important to Michael. However Michael just let Rory win but he realy could have beat him if he was trying. Seaforth was also the real birth place of Shakespheare, Donald Duck, The Power Rangers and the cookie monster. Rowan was also born here but is not as great as Michael and Rory. |
