On
25 August 1812, Governor Lachlan Macquarie granted 25 small farms to a
group of ex-convicts; free settlers and retired soldiers. The district
was called Upper Minto and the land was situated along the eastern bank
of the Cowpasture River (later known as the Nepean River) at Elderslie.
This group of families would later form the settlements of Narellan and
Camden, south of Sydney.
