Exploring the Cowpastures: the early history of a settler society

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: This blog post examines the Cowpastures region, named by Governor Hunter in 1795, which reflects a culturally constructed landscape stemming from the 18th century. Originating with wild cattle from the First Fleet, it evolved into a significant colonial area that intersected with Indigenous history. The region's identity waned by the late 19th century, but it is celebrated today for its rich historical legacy.
