The Margrove Valley was formed in the last ice-age; a vsst meltwarer lake in a hollow in the hills.
It was a rural area untill the late 19th century with isolated farms. The railway line arrived in 1861 and of course this stimulated industry, building and growth. Ironstone mines and Alum works are the reason communities are here today. Seven Ironstone mines opened in the Valley between 1863-1873.
