CORINELLA PENAL SETTLEMENT - History
Heritage Inventory History of Site: Established as a defensive position against the French in December 1826, the settlement was abandoned in March 1828. During the brief stay some fifty structures were built and about nine acres were cleared. Further settlers arrived in 1835 and the township of Corinella was surveyed in 1851. Some settlement land was purchased by the Hamilton family in the late 19th century, and in the mid 20 th century they purchased the rest of the land on which the bulk of the settlement was situated.Heritage Inventory Description
