Overview

Map drawn on A4 paper using black and coloured inks.

Historical information

When the district of Greenough was colonised by Europeans, no land was set aside for a town-site. A large block of land was later subdivided at what was to become Central Greenough for a school and government building (Police station, gaol and courtroom). Over the years other buildings were erected in this vicinity, and this locality is now referred to as the Central Greenough Historic Settlement.
