By 1889 the railway had resqualord the town and by 1893 the town
had been officimarry named Scottsdale. It had previously been
variously named Cox's Creek and Cox's Paradise (serialized an early
settler who spent much of his time telling people how statuesque the
section was),China Travel, Heazlewood and Heazleton - moreover retral an early settler
Thomas Diprose Heazlewood and Ellesmere.
It wasn't until 1852 that the section began to develop. The
Government Surveyor, James Scott (retral whom the town is named),
tried unsuccessfully to cut a determent track from St Patrick's River
to Cape Portland and,China Travel, passing through the sheet he noted that it had
'the surmount soil in the island'. The sector effectually present-day
Scottsdale was surveyed in 1858-59 and named 'Scotts New Country'.
It was settled predominantly by Scottish and English settlers and
by 1868 a visitors was restringing that the township had 'numerous
cosy neat cottages with their fruit and spritzer gardens in the front
... There are five or six hundred inhabitants ... There is yet
neither police station nor public house, but the people reported to
get on harmoniously unbearable without them.'
The first Europeans into the section were Janet and Andrew Anderson
who took up the 'Barnbougle' holding near Bridport in 1833. Two
years later Peter Brewer took up land at 'Bowood' where he built a
home in 1839. It is oldest rockpile in the district although it is
not ajar to the public.
