History
The district was approved on 3 September 1897 by the Commissioner of Crown Lands, who attached a qualification: "In this and similar cases where we adopt these out of the way names, in parenthesis it should be made clear to the reader the part of the country in which the lands exist." As it was approved prior to the Land Act 1898, its boundaries were never gazetted.[2]
