History
Clarence Town, NSW
Australia
Clarence Town was known as ‘Erringhi’, a local Aboriginal name for the area which probably meant ‘place of wild ducks’. In 1832 the town was renamed after the Duke of Clarence who had become King William IV in 1830.
Clarence Town like many places on the Hunter, Paterson and Williams Rivers was first visited by timber getters, with land grants made as early as 1825. With its deep water river frontages, Clarence Town was early a place from which timber and other goods could be transported and many of the grantees further up the Williams River made application for small grants at this head of navigation to establish stores for their produce awaiting transshipment. Clarence Town was proclaimed a town in 1832, the third in the Hunter district after Newcastle and Maitland, and provided with a generous street plan. Also established here was a shipbuilding industry where Australia’s first ocean-going steamer was built. It became a busy and important river port. The early establishment of relatively small farms on the river and the ease of river transport led to rapid growth. Along with tobacco factories. Today it is a quiet and sleepy town which has been by-passed by both the railway and the main roads.
