The History of Ashbourne
The ‘Green Hills Special Survey’ was claimed by John Morphett on 8 July 1839, 4,000 acres selected from 15,000 acres in that district of country extending generally to the south-east of the survey called ‘The Three Brothers’ taken by J.B. Hack and to the eastward of the eastern boundary of ‘The Meadows Survey’.
Eventually the ‘Green Hills Special Survey’ developed into a river type of survey twelve miles by two and extending from the latitude of Mount Magnificent in the south to one mile north of Macclesfield. It included the site of Ashbourne (13 km south of Strathalbyn), which was laid out on part sections 2337-39 by the owner, C.S. Keeling (1817-1875) in 1865. Forty-two allotments were surveyed, including a site for a school, (Lot 40).
The name was not officially recognised for postal purposes until 1 May 1869 when its postal address was changed from ‘Finniss Flat’. Charles Staley Keeling hailed from Ashbourne in Derbyshire; it derives from the Anglo-Saxon esseburne – ‘ash tree stream’; it was there in 1644 a battle was fought between the royalists and parliamentarians in which the former were defeated with considerable loss.
