History

The Parish is on the traditional lands of the Wadigali [3] and to a lesser extent Karenggapa, [4] Aboriginal peoples. [5]

In April 1529 Spain and Portugal divided the world between themselves with the Treaty of Zaragoza. Unknown to the Wadigali, their dividing line passed through the parish.

Charles Sturt passed to the west of the parish during 1845, [6] camping for 6 months at nearby Preservation Creek.

In 1861 the Burke and Wills expedition passed to the east. [7]

Gold was discovered in the area in the 1870s.
