Brief History of Prospect Hill

Originally the country of the Peramangk people (Australian Aboriginals of the Adelaide Hills), it was settled as a farming district by English, Scottish and Irish immigrants around the middle of the nineteenth century.  The Prospect Hill area boasts a long and fascinating history.  This history has been well researched and documented by members of the Prospect Hill Community Association in conjunction with descendants of the first settlers to the area and other such interested parties.  Much of this documentation is available for viewing at the Prospect Hill Historical Museum.
